My girlfriends and I go on a quilt retreat every year. We pick a different location, get a resort with two bedrooms, load up the car with our sewing machines and gear and off we go! We've been to Gatlinburg, Hilton Head, Williamsburg, Wisconsin Dells, Boyne Mountain, and French Lick, IN. This year, in Oct. we're going to Cape Cod. We each cook a dinner and go out the rest of the nights, we hit the local quilt shops, we sight see, we talk, laugh, and best of all, we make quilts! Sometimes we work on UFOs, sometimes we find a new inspiration and all make a new pattern. It's so much fun! Now I'm going to start organizing week-long, small private retreats for 6-10 women at a resort in their location. As soon as things slow down a little (maybe in the fall) I'm going to make up some brochures to send to guilds. But if you and some of your friends would like to go to a week-long retreat for about $250 (includes food and classes), give me a holler and I'll see if I can find a resort in your area and plan one!

Now I like the last place you listed above a quilt store, but that might be just tooooo tempting, who could ever sit and sew knowing that all that beautiful and neat stuff was just so close you could actually reach out and touch it every few minutes. lol Gerbie

Oh! I see - when I said "we have a great resort here", you thought that I mean that personally - no-I meant we like in the Ozarks! ----------- ha! I WISH WE had it!

All Texas quilters should check out the Compass Center in Mt. Calm, TX. (a google search wil take you there...sorry no link...) A BEAUTIFUL retreat location--set up especially for crafters/quilters! Every bunk has an original quilt on the bed! I don't know how far in advance you need to book, but my guild recently went, and they had a Ball! They even quilted in their jammies the last day..LOL! The food is all prepared and most exquisite...(no dish washing required!) and she even has a small quilt shop on site....how could you possible go wrong...rockers on the porch to relax when you want, and they hire a massage therapist to come in for hire--a real pampering get away...(especially for those Mom's with little kids at home!) No distractions...just lots of sewing, or napping, games were played, and a great time was had by all! This place is worth the drive!
