Neither my sister Ronda nor I have ever attended a sewing/quilting retreat. So, on our first night we really didn't know what to expect. BUT WE WERE SO EXCITED!!
 |
| We arrived in time to do a 20 minute spin of the MSQC main store... |
 |
| This mural is painted on the side wall of the MSQC store. |
 |
| Directly across the street -- THIS fabulous mural is painted on the side of the MSQC Retreat Center. Which is, of course, OUR DESTINATION...and our home away from home for the next three days!! |
 |
| The main floor is one big open classroom. (also, a catering kitchen, two restrooms, and two private handicapped suites) |
 |
| There is a beautiful wide staircase -- leading up to 12 dorm-type sleeping rooms. |
 |
| Upstairs, a long center hal with rooms on both sides... |
 |
| Quilts, of course, hanging on every wall -- in the halls...in the sleeping rooms... |
 |
| This room had three beds. (our room had 5 single beds). |
 |
| There are six beautiful new bathrooms upstairs... |
 |
| Each with a walk-in shower |
 |
| Every attendant got a jam-packed Goody Bag. |
 |
| April made everybody a sewing mat for their Featherweight. The pen has a light, and the mug is a one-of-a-kind!! |
 |
| They catered a BBQ dinner for the first night. |
 |
| April with Christian (a very impressive repairman in his own right) and Ruthie (wait until you hear about HER job!) |
 |
| Carmon welcomed everybody to the Retreat -- and took care of the introductions. |
 |
| Then -- our VERY SPECIAL EVENT....a Jenny Doan Trunk Show!! |
Fun! Fun! Fun! I cannot believe you have never been to a sewing retreat!!!!!!!!!!!!
