An Enjoyable Quilting Retreat

Last week I was fortunate enough to spend 3 days at Canter's Cave for a quilting getaway. It was fantastic. Canter's Cave is most known in southern Ohio as a 4-H camp, but in the off-season, many other groups use the facilities for meeting, conferences and retreats. We were treated to some wonderful spring-like weather, and many hours of sewing and fellowship.

The lodge we used is the "new lodge" or "small lodge," but this hardly looks small, does it? The interior shots will show that it is rather new, however. This next picture is of the great room where we had our tables set up for sewing. There were 8 of us girls, so we filled this area to the brim.

Below is a look at things from where my sewing station was set up.


The fireplace had a cozy feel to it, and we used the seating late at night when we were tuckered out from sitting at our sewing machines all day. It was too warm to light a fire, but supplies were available.
 
My home for the 3-day, 2-night event was here in Room 4. I had my choice of beds, as we each had our own rooms, so I slept in the bottom of that furthest bunk.

All of these photos were taken after we'd cleaned everything up and packed in our cars to leave. I think you would have enjoyed seeing us in all our creative chaos. Since we booked the lodge for next spring, I will try to remember to do it then.

I have a very sick laptop, and for some reason I am unable to get my iPad to post my pictures. I will try to come back with some details of all the pretties we worked on while on retreat.

Happy Quilting, Friends!
