    Smile Went to first quilt retreat

    I went to my first quilt retreat and had a blast. There were 14 of us and all we did was sew, eat, sew, eat and sleep a little. It was so much fun and I got some things done. I want to go some more!

    I'm going to my first retreat next month. Glad to hear you had a good time. Guess I won't be quite so nervous about going.

    I went to my first two retreats last year and had a blast. I am looking forward to one that I am getting ready to sign up for in April. Can't wait.

    Next weekend I will be going to my retreat, 7th year. They are always fun, to visit with fellow quilters. Have no household duties/responsibilities. Just sew, eat, sleep and repeat.

    I have signed up to go to my first even in Texas in March. I am very nerveous about it. Meeting my aunt. So, I won't be alone.

    I love retreats! It's one giant slumber party, only instead of playing with hair and makeup and giggling all night long, you play with fabric and giggle all night long!

    I am glad you had fun! There is nothing like meeting other quilters and spending time together.

    We have quite a few in NTX. Debbie U puts on some that are just fantastic.

    Tell me more. I am newbie. Only know I would like to go to the camp at "Elm Creek Quilts" to bad it is a fictional location. But the books got me back into sewing quilt squares.
