Last week I found out there was an opening at my guild retreat and I decided to go at the last minute. I picked up another member of our guild and we arrived in time for lunch on Friday. I had been at the retreat center before, but it had been a few years. It is an ideal place. There are about 10 bedrooms with 4 beds in each room and I think there are about 6 bathrooms.

| This is the bedroom I stayed in. |
 |
| A quilt on every bed! |
 |
| Quilts hanging on the walls in the hallway that leads to the work room. |
 |
| This is one of the quilts I worked on - Everyday Best by Becky Goldsmith It was published in a 2006 issue of Quilting and originally published in Quilts with a Spin 2005. |
 |
| Work room. Plenty of design walls and plug outlets. |
 |
| Even a store with lots of fabric! |
Below are some of the quilts that other people were working on. Lots of paper piecing was going on!
Lots of gorgeous quilts being made.
Lots of Stack n Whack quilts too!
I had a great time and made some headway on a few projects which I hope will be finished soon. Two days away was good and it was good to get home too.
Have a great week everyone!
I remember when you started those scrappy circles! That is going to be a fun quilt. What a lovely place to retreat...I can imagine getting a lot done in that environmemnt.
