10 reasons to retreat

If you've never been on a quilt retreat, you have been missing out. Know what you'll experience? 

• collaboration -- encouraging words and helpful suggestions 
• camaraderie -- infectious spirit and energy pumping creativity
• sharing -- ideas, tools, reviews, blogs, viewpoints, suggestions

• inspiration -- work you can admire and feed off of 
• like-mindedness -- people understand what you're doing, and why you're doing it

Cheers to Bertha for
providing the wine!

• social -- people who laugh with you, eat with you (drink with you) and celebrate with you
• conversation -- amazing discussions of important issues in the quilt world
• service -- someone begins with "Oh, I (forgot, need, can't find, don't have, etc.)" and "here use mine" is the ending, every time

Quilt wine!

• laughter -- jokes are much funnier when everyone "gets it"
• surprises -- (wonderful or shocking ones) both quilty and otherwise
