What a great four days. I went to my first retreat last Sunday and returned Wednesday afternoon. We were located in the wine country of Temecula at a Catholic Convent and retreat center. It was lovely-had my own room, great food and got to know 11 other ladies much better than I did before.

I love retreats. Glad you enjoyed it and got some stuff done. I love to do mindless sewing at retreats - that way all I have to do is stitch and gab.
It sounds like you you enjoyed the retreat. Yay! The baby quilt looks great. Have a great weekend!
Your baby quilt is so cheerful! What a lucky boy. Glad you had a good and productive time at your retreat.
Looks like you had a wonderful time. I find retreats to be the perfect place for mindless sewing...and good eating...and making new friends...and getting to know old ones better. It's all good! :)
