Twice a year I go on a weekend retreat with my sewing buddies. We call ourselves the Quarter Bees ... because we really try hard to get together 4 times a year ... a couple of sewing days and a couple of weekends.
For the weekends, we go to the Blue Mountain Retreat Center in western Maryland. It's a GREAT place to go - quiet, functional, not too far away, but far enough away from home responsibilites.
It's in the woods with lots of pretty flowers all around. Each morning a deer wandered through the yard.On the second day (we went for 4 days) - we had our own little quilt show. These were UFO's and now they're finished quilt tops!
I finished my Pat Sloan, Walk in the Moonlight quilt.

Wow, what beautiful quilts!
A retreat like this sounds wonderful!
Lovely quilts! And a great place to get away from this heat.
A quilt retreat sounds like so much fun!
What a wonderful experience! The best of all worlds - going to a beautiful place with your best friends to do some quilting together! Sounds like a dream. And the quilts are gorgeous.
That picture of all the quilts on the railing is great. I should go to a retreat sometime -- they always sound so fun!
A quilt retreat, sounds amazing! I LOVE your quilt...how intricate!
Beautiful quilts! A quilting retreat sounds wonderful! Ours would be small, though. There's only 2 others I know (in person) who quilt. = )
Oh, I would so love to go on a retreat but you don't really hear of them in the UK much.
