We stayed at the Wimberley Quilt Ranch from Friday at noon till Sunday at 3 p.m. What can I say about the Wimberley Quilt Ranch? Just that its awesome! Seriously, I hate to let other people know about this awesome little quilting getaway, but we all loved it! Its an older home that sits on roughly four acres in the Texas Hill Country. The house is wonderfully remodeled: 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms that comfortably sleep 12 people. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking supplies, including 3 coffee machines! The dining room table sat all twelve of us. And there was internet access for when we needed it!
The quilting room? Its awesome! It is a converted carport space, located directly off the kitchen. There was a large table for every quilter, along with three irons and three cutting mats. Oh, and I can't forget the design walls! I've never used a design wall! They are awesome! If I had a sewing room all to myself, I would totally put one up!
While I was at the retreat, I was a quilting maniac. I finished the top of the postage stamp quilt along. I made a baby quilt for a friend, minus the binding. And I finally got around to the BOM for the AMQG quilt-a-long! I finished four blocks at the retreat. When I got home that night, I finished six more blocks. Today I completed all the blocks and got my top completed! Its a perfect lap quilt that I'm not sure I'll keep or giveaway as a gift.
Can't wait for the next quilting retreat... I'm hoping we plan something for summer!

Wow, how cool is that? My MIL would love something like that.
I can't believe I had so much fun!
I hope your MIL gets to enjoy a quilting retreat soon... I highly recommend it. :)
That sounds amazing!
My mom went to her first quilt retreat during this last year. She loved telling us how they played "strip poker." (They were playing for fabric strips.)
Beth, awesome game... I would suggest we play that at the next retreat, but I really don't want to take time away from sewing. Maybe our quilt guild could play it at a meeting!
