Last April, my friend, Marilyn and I hosted a weekend Mystery Quilt Retreat up in the Colorado mountains. We had 14 students come and finish a bed size quilt top in a fun-filled atmosphere with food, jokes, chocolate and of course, quilting! The weather was unusually warm for April, so we had lunch in the park and when we finished on Sunday morning, hung our quilt tops on the rustic fence adjacent to the convention center. The picture at left shows just some of the finished pieces - oh, so many fabrics - and oh what a great surprise to see what happens when its all put together! This year our retreat will be April 25 -27, and we are really excited to plan this. We have 12 students coming this year, and boy, are they in for a wonderful "adventure".

Your retreat last year was amazing. You know I wish I was going. I am so jealous of all the fun you will have. Can't wait to see all the quilts.
We will miss you, too! The pattern for this year is really neat and fun! Maybe you can join us next year!
Hi - can't find an e-mail so will leave this. Does the place you used as a retreat take other groups? some friends and I from around the country are looking for a site to use for a week while we visit, have fun and quilt/craft. If this site is not available, can you refer me to another?
