It must be quilt retreat season---it seems many of the forums and blogs I read are about retreats!
I thought I would share about my own quilt retreat at Bishops Ranch here in northern California that I just came back from. I have the pleasure of attending this retreat twice a year. Totally fun!
My quilting buddy Carolynn traveled from Indiana to attend. There were about 45 of us! Here are Carolynn and I ready to leave. We pack our machines, projects, a few clothes and head out! 4.5 glorious days of sewing, sewing, sewing and talking and laughing and sharing with dear friends! Staying up late and eating some of the best food north of the Golden Gate!
Here are just a few of the wonderful quilts from our Show n' Tell.
This is what I worked on most of the time. I planned to do more, but you know how that goes when you're having fun!
In the midst of getting ready for our retreat, this arrived. In a word "marvelous"! More about the new long arm next time.

I'm anxious to hear about this long-arm! The retreat looks like fun too.
Looks like so much fun! I must try a retreat sometimes.
