hereca622 My First Quilt Retreat - I signed up for my first quilt retreat in September 2006 at the Red Barn in Cold Springs, TX. My Friend and Fellow Quilter mentioned that the other quilters took a quilt for their bed. Being a QUILTER, I could not show up without a QUILT for my bed. I had just made a turning twenty quilt for my husband and I felt that I could finish one for me in time for the retreat. I pulled out all my fabrics that had a quilting and sewing theme and one fat quarter of Hersheys Candy Bars, because my friend said that there was no quilt retreat without CHOCOLATE. The Red Barn spoiled me rotten and I have already signed up for this year. (Mr. Red Barn made homemade bread three times a day for us!!!)
