that would put the retreat about August 2011 - good timing? Enough time to save your pennies for the fun???

you really should, its not hard and it will open up a world of quilting that you're missing out on.
the bulk of the DJ blocks can be paper pieced and they just come out so beautiful this way because of the exact precision you can achieve with paper piecing.
