I know that quilt retreats are very popular with American quilters and I have read about them with envy on quilters blogs. It was my ambition to go on one myself and this weekend I organised my own quilt retreat for my group of quilting friends.
After a recommendation from someone on BQL I booked a retreat in Cumbria at Quiltworks hosted by Maureen.
And what a wonderful weekend we had - continuous quilting from Friday afternoon to Sunday lunchtime with gaps for marvelous meals and cakes cooked by Maureen.
The first photo is of the spacious, warm quilting studio. Loads of room for the 6 of us.

Your retreat sounds amazing and I love the way you've arranged the the log cabin blocks.
I've always wanted to go on a retreat...can you arrange one for over here...haha!!
It looks like you had a great time! Thanks for sharing!
Your retreat sounds lovely- I'm surprised you came home! I did a class with Pat Archibold at the Festival of Quilts last year and she was amazing, she knew so much and was so eager to share she could hardly get the words out fast enough. And Dena Craine is another sort of amazing- I met her in Kenya several times and assisted her once when she was jurying a quilt competition. Huh, I wish I lived nearer to Cumbria!
That is an excellent idea.
