Mary Huey has organized a quilt retreat for her friends at the Amish Door Inn in Wilmot, OH for years, and i was lucky enough to find out about it in 2005 and I've been going ever since (except for the year I got strep throat and I had the car packed and was on my way down until I found out what I had and thought better of it). Mary rents out the conference room which is a lovely spot for quilting as it has windows on 3 sides and about 25 ladies bring their machines, stacks of fabric, and their creativity and sew from Friday through Sunday, with some shopping and eating thrown in for good measure.
My dear friends K and S and I share a room and we'll get there on Friday, do some fabric shopping at some of the quilt stores in Amish Country, go out to dinner, and then sew for the weekend. I can't wait! I just need to plan what I'm going to bring, and which machine will go with me.
At home the ornaments are off the tree, and although I haven't basted my entry for Lake Farmpark yet (T minus 10 days until that's due) let alone quilted it, I'm confident in my abilities to finish a quilt on a deadline and will get moving on that this week.
