I have a close friend who moved away from her bee but would still travel to attend retreat once a year or every other year. Depending on where you end up, perhaps that's something you might be able to do as well.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333572994792314591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925319966873918312.post-33242083202361893122014-05-04T17:53:27.690-10:002014-05-04T17:53:27.690-10:00Ooh boy--now I have to add Turkey Tracks to my end...Ooh boy--now I have to add Turkey Tracks to my endless list of quilts I want to make!

I highly, highly recommend them. It's not only an opportunity for uninterrupted sewing but a time of fellowship, laughter and personal growth. They are "addictive" ;-) as anyone who has been on one will attest.<br />45th Parallel Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054316704528545846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925319966873918312.post-6068874059470074672014-05-03T04:05:05.683-10:002014-05-03T04:05:05.683-10:00I understand about "last" retreats.

It was very emotional because at the last dinner of the weekend they presented me with a quilt they had made together ... each making a block and then assembling and quilting it. The label was embroidered with all their names and the saying that I should be sad for what has passed but be glad that we had it. Many, many, many tears and hugs. BUT!! You will find a new guild and a new circle of quilting friends ... as I have in our new home. I still communicate with my old buddies and we talk about a "reunion" and perhaps someday that will happen ... but I am not sad because I DID have them in my life for awhile.45th Parallel Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054316704528545846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925319966873918312.post-6425088170589341762014-05-03T03:31:52.750-10:002014-05-03T03:31:52.750-10:00I really love your Talkin Turkey quilt.

So much fun to be with other quilters, plus the possibility of making real progress on a project.
