The 2012 retreat has ended and I hope everyone has as much fun as I did. I know that everyone got more accomplished than I did but I was happy to talk and visit with everyone so not getting much accomplished didn’t bother me at all. I had a fantastic time but I’m so tired and I’m sure everyone else is too.
The hotel was great. The meeting room we used, which is the larger of their two, is upstairs and there’s no elevator but the hotel staff helped get everything upstairs and Vince came back and helped get everything downstairs today. The hotel was clean and the staff was so helpful. It’s one of the first times I’ve been to a retreat that we didn’t have electrical problems due to too many irons on at the same time.
It was so nice to meet so many folks that I’ve been “talking to” through the years. We do plan to do another one in 2013. Once the details are worked out, I’ll send the info to the quilters who were there in 2012 and give them first shot at getting a spot before opening it up to others but as soon as I know the dates, I will post them here so you can be checking your calendar and you’ll be ready to commit once the reservations are being taken.
For now . . back to real life. I need to get things unpacked and see if I accomplished enough to even post a picture on my design wall tomorrow!

I must admit, I am really jealous of all the retreat participants. Hopefully, someday i’ll be able to make the trip from New York to Texas. I’m glad everyone had a great time. Just meeting Vince and eating your cooking would be enough to make me happy.

What a great time in a great place. Judy’s cooking is delicious, I think I gained 5 pounds. I have lots of new quilting friends from the retreat. What a talented group of people!
