Just stay away from topics of religion, politics and news and all is well.Just talk quilt talk!!!

You are sooooo right! I find I have to take care of myself with little walks and nap time, and I love getting to know people better and all the chore-free quilting time. My biggest challenge is to learn not to complain about the things that bug me!!! But I know it's important so I really work hard at keeping my discomforts to myself! Remembering gratitude and reminding myself of the millions of things to be grateful for helps. Thanks for your post reminding us of the qualities of character required for enjoying retreat. So glad you had a good time! Can't wait to see your projects.

It is a deal breaker if I can't have one.<br />I need to decompress before and after a day of group sewing.<br />Having said that, I love the energy of sewing with a group! and if there is no cooking all the better. Oh and wine. Yes, need wine :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619642267222624728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-53884288251107667502020-02-25T13:05:30.013-05:002020-02-25T13:05:30.013-05:00Way to keep it real, Kathy.

It's not the time to start the 30 piece block. I go to two retreats a year. Both are with guilds I belong to but live a couple of hours away. To me the socializing and being with old friends are as important as the quilts part of it. I’ve considered going on one with my current guild but have decided not to for the time being. I’m looking forward to May and my next retreat.

And of course having coffee and cake regularly bought to you helps along with the no cooking, no washing up, sigh.

So many of you bloggers talk about quilt retreats and sound like you have a lot of fun, I have never been on one and really don't know if I ever well. I really can't imagine quilting all days. I know it seems like I do here at home but I actually hop from one thing to another, run in to town to do things there - I don't know if I would be in the mood to sew and listen to machines all day LOL I might not be a retreat person :(Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.com
