I've never been on a quilting retreat, but from what I've read here it sounds as if you pack up your sewing stuff and lug it all out the house to go sit in a motel room and sew next to the stranger that is sharing your room, and at regular intervals you stop sewing and leave the room to go eat meals with more strangers.
I must be missing something because I just don't see why I would go to one when it would be much easier and less costly to sew at home. So, can someone let me in on the secret allure of the quilting retreat? Debra in VA See my quilts at
