Retreat!
#1
I'm packing stuff up today to head for a retreat tomorrow. I think I have just about all my quilt stuff gathered up. I have my machine, rolling chair, small folding table, ott light, extension cords, super duper steam iron, best press, plenty of scissors and a couple of rotary cutters and the mat, extra machine needles, and at least 4 projects to work on. Oh, maybe I should throw in some clothes?
Rulers!! I better go grab some rulers and stick in the pile.

At our retreat we go to a church camp because they have dorms, a big dining room and they'll feed us two times a day all for the low price of a hundred bucks each for 4 days. We just have them feed us brunch and supper and have a whole table loaded with all sorts of munchies for during the day.

I will be going on a retreat next month. I always take 2 sewing machines!! If one breaks I don't want to just watch everyone else having all the fun!!! We have a cabin in the woods at a Church camp. It's beautiful there. Love my retreats and go twice a year in April and October.

Thank you,that sounds great. Over here a retreat would be to a religious place though you don't have to be religious to go to one.. more like finding peace I guess. I find it interesting the different meanings we have either side of the pond, for some words.
