So glad you had a great time...sounds like you got tremendous value for money and enjoyed every minute of it. The prize winning was an extra bonus!

You lucky Girl!!! I have yet to go on a retreat. I was invited to go to one in 3 weeks, but our house sold so packing up is the only thing in my near future! Congrats on your great WIN!!!

Wow What a great gift to win. I love quilting retreats, go to 2 a year and everything is so perfect. Friends, food, show and tell, etc. Every quilter should go on one.

That sounds like a wonderful time. Wish we had something like that around St. Louis.

It only cost $130.00 for Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, and that included three meals a day and coffee, tea, cider, things like that. We went on Thursday afternoon and they only charged us $10 extra. For example: pork chops, homemade rolls, corn salad, fresh steamed cauliflower from the garden, fresh super moist baked potatoes from the garden, tossed greens from the garden, homemade chocolate cake.....and that was just one dinner!!! I love to eat almost as much as I love to sew, probably more!
the lodge was awesome....sew anytime you want and as late or early as you want to! She is a quilter, awesome quilts hanging all over and on every bed!
And, to top it all off, this is the first year the owners decided to have a drawing (the grand prize) and I won!!! The prize is free lodging and food the next quilt retreat! I can hardly wait!!!

Sounds like a quilters dream come true. Where was this retreat held?

Oh, how do I wish this wasn't so far from me (Louisiana)! This retreat sounds like a real bargain!

Did the facility plan the retreat or was it someone know to you?
