My perfect quilting retreat would be with about 5 of my closest quilting buddies, at a northwoods cabin. A little hiking, a lot of laughter and a whole lotta sewing. Mostly unplugged, except our phones. Okay, maybe a movie night. :-)

My dream getaway would be anywhere looking towards mountains. Must include old friends and others to make new friendships, laughter, good food, and no phones.

I’ve only been on one retreat, and that was years ago but it was wonderful.

I’ve never done an retreat. Hope to sign up for one this year.

I have never been on a quilt retreat but think it would be fun, entertaining, educational, enlightening and relaxing. I love to learn new techniques and to stretch my boundaries. Quilting isn't really an arena where there are any boundaries. Just imagine what we are able to accomplish when we open our minds to new possibilities.

My perfect dream sewing getaway is coming up in less than a mont when I meet up with dear friends in the same place for the tenth year in a row!

I love my quilting retreats! I get to spend time with my Mom, Sister and old and new friends. My dream retreat would be endless! With a beautiful beach view, perfect weather ( with a rain day for serious stitching) comfy porch swing and a cabinet full of endless notions and fabric of every color. It would have to include someone to cook meals and clean our space. Being endless would keep me from being sad for the next retreat.

I go on a quilt retreat 2 times each year. What’s not to love about dedicated sewing time, quilty friends to learn from and laugh with, someone to cook for you, and visits to amazing quilt shops. So much fun and inspiration.

My perfect quilt retreat includes a backdrop of mountains and tranquil water, lots of time and space to sew, great food (of course) and great friends - old and new!!

My dream retreat is in Denver, PA...where I go with several quilting friends ...in the heart of Amish country...beautiful scenery, friendships...and 3 quilt shops nearby!

Food, fun, friends and quilting at an off site location is the perfect getaway for me! Would love to win this book!

Ahh my dream sewing getaway would be to have my handiwork project on the back porch of a cabin in the woods and by a lazy, bubbling stream. Just for a day...no interruptions and most importantly to have all my tools together so I don't have to get up and look for anything....which, as you well know, leads to a multitude of other distractions and time gobblers.

My perfect retreat is a lakeside getaway with a few close friends who all have lots of ideas to share and quilts to sew! Good food would also have to be involved! One could walk on the beach and watch the sun on the water when reading or sewing.

I have a friend in Phoenix who invites us to her house for four days every summer. She picks a quilt project and we go for it. So fun to see different fabrics but the same pattern. We sew morning to night, although on the third day we take a quilt store shopping break.

I would say, my perfect "retreat" would be on a lake, with no politics, and lovely food, surrounded by kind and thoughtful friends, both old and new. And - if we wanted to take a break from sewing, perhaps if a few of those friend played American Mahjong!

FRIENDS!

I go on retreat twice a year, to the same place with the same friends. We quilt in a lodge-type building that has a cathedral ceiling and windows down two sides, plus a large kitchen where we cook our own meals. Breakfast is on your own as people get up at different times, but the lunches and dinners are provided by a different group of 3-4 ladies each time. That way, you only have to cook once for the entire retreat! We stay in cabins surrounding the lodge building. We work on our own projects, have a show and tell, and a fabric swap. It’s heaven!

The 3 P's pric price price and where it is. I love to attend them $ usually hold me back

Twice a year I join one of the small quilting groups from my local guild for a retreat. The week after the 4th of July we gather at a home-turned- retreat center for a week-long retreat! We’ve beeen doing this for around 10 years. Like you said, “Friends, fabric, food, and fun!”

Perfect retreat is a few quilting buddys get together for a weekend, Sew, help others with projects, and some one to cook my meals and make my bed and total relax.

I went to a Jinny Breyer retreat on Hilton Head years ago. The next year my friend said....how about going to Gwen Marston’s retreat on Beaver Island. She brought me an article from Ladies Circle Patchwork magazine about Gwen and Joe. We were regular attenders after that and I only missed a couple of those years on the Island and later at Elk Rapids, MI. Now sister’s Sue Nickels and Pat Holly have continued those retreats and I still return each fall. These retreats have shaped my life and especially my quilting life. Special thanks to our beloved Gwen who has now gone to glory.

I love to retreat.. since I retired 5 years ago, I attend between 10 and 14 per year.... I am getting to be an expert at packing up my sewing room and putting it in the car...love it...

I love to host retreats at my place. This weekend is my "celebrate summer sew-in Retreat". I sent out adorable note cards to invite a few close friends (most live 2 to 3 hours drive away) and we bring our projects, machines and a dessert and sew the weekend away. My husband cooks & we enjoy the time sewing & chatting. Sew much fun. Relaxing time with friends. Retreats are an excellent way to get your projects done & get help with your quilting or sewing project from other like minded friends.

I haven't been to a retreat, but it would be someplace close by so there would be little travel time and more time to sew. Comfortable temperature and lots of room to spread out. Also a shop nearby and a beautiful relaxing setting.

Retreats are the best! Love the yearly 5-day retreat I attend on beautiful Lake Tahoe in the Fall, so fun!

My dream retreat would be a wonderful relaxing spot where the view is perfect for inspiring creativity. Thread, notions and snacks would be available. It would have a lovely dining area to get to know fellow quilters. What a perfect get away to work on those handmade sewing projects!

My dream retreat would include my sister and my daughter. And hiking, good food and great wine! I’ll pack now....

My perfect retreat is whenever my quilting muses and I get together. We have one retreat with each other per year and have named it Quiltapalooza. Actually one of the husbands named it! We have been meeting in our homes for over 10 years! We love all kinds of retreats but this one is special. Love my Quiltapalooza girls

Somewhere new with my favorite girlfriends. Lots of good food our sewing machines and our latest projects.

I too have never been on a retreat, life didn't allow me to. But if I could, mine would be in a cabin on a lake, with a few friends.

My favorite sewing getaway would be in the mountains with a friend, meeting new friends, with time to spend hiking and sewing.
