You also have three other quilt guilds nearby......QUILT in Delmar (quiltinc.org)......QUILTS in Schenectady (quiltschenectady.org)........Quilt North (Quiltnorth.org) in Clifton Park......
There should also be a guild in Bennington VT.....they have a quilt show every fall......
There is the Fly Geese quilt shop in Colonie (near the Albany Airport)that does classes.......Almost one of a kind in Ballston Spa..........and the Joyful Quilter in Glenville
I also heard that the quilting weeks in VT are very nice......... http://quiltinginvermont.stronghouseinn.com/

Oh, thank you all so much.
Yes, the retreat in the Berkshires sounds heavenly; also, I love the Lake George area. Syracuse isn't too far for me - friends of my late DH live ther and I could reconnect with them,
Yes, the Benington show in VT is one of the nicest small ones around. I might check out vermont too.
Thanks again.

Hinterland, I've been to some rough retreats also and then to some with nice hotel rooms. They're all fun in the end because you got to go away doing a hobby you love with wonderful quilting friends!

Vermont Quilt Festival is coming up at the end of June. The quilts in this show are spectacular. You can also take classes there. If you're in the area, this is a "must see" show.
Is that the one in Benington? That isn't too far for me.

It's the one in my link upthread:
http://www.vqf.org/
It was around 4 to 5 hours from NYC, so it's not a bad drive from your area at all.
