Summer Retreat 2018 is in the books!

Details about Summer Retreat 2018:
I've completed this year's quilt for Summer Retreat 2018 (except for quilting)!! It's not perfect, but you know what they say about that, better finished than perfect and finished it is!!! This year's quilt is Twisted Windmill which was inspired by the Windmill quilt pattern by Missouri Star Quilt Company with a few added twists!. Made using a jelly roll , background yardage, stripe yardage and a wedge ruler. The Jelly roll is , of course, precut, along with the black stripe. I will send the background yardage to you in July after you have registered with cutting instructions, which are pretty simple, you will just be cutting strips! The quilt finishes at 88 x 88 and the binding will also be included.. The background and the stripe will be ready for you, the jelly roll you get to pick out when you arrive!
This year's retreat will be held at the Quilt With A Heart retreat center in Priddy, Texas, which, is located in between somewhere and nowhere in the center of Texas! We are centrally located in this great big state and are approximately 2 hours from anywhere significant in any direction you go, i.e., 2 hours to Austin, Ft.Worth, Waco, San Angelo, Abilene, Fredericksburg, you get the picture!
Check in time is noon on the 24th and check out time is Sunday at 2:00. As always, once everyone is signed up, I will divide the attendees into groups and each group will be responsible for one meal. I will provide Friday evening's meal which will be my hubby's yummy barbeque brisket, beans, coleslaw and desert. Coffee, tea and water will be provided, you will need to bring any snacks, breakfast foods and other drinks that you may desire. We will have some on-going games throughout the weekend with prizes and we will play the fat quarter game on Saturday evening along with Show and Tell time, so don't forget to bring something to show!!
What you will need to bring with you: Sewing machine and other supplies you think you will need to sew all weekend, A square up ruler large enough to square up an 11" block, FIVE UGLY FAT QUARTERS FOR THE GAME. That's right, dig into those scraps and find the ugly fat quarters that you want to get rid of and bring them for trade!! Things that are not required but would be handy to have: Spinning mat for squaring up, chain cutter for separating your chain piecing.
The cost of the retreat is $245.00. A non-refundable deposit of $100.00 is required to reserve your spot. You can reserve your place now with a deposit or pay in full, both options are available below. I look forward to seeing you at the first Summer Retreat at the new Quilts With A Heart Retreat Center!!!
I've had a lot of interest in making this quilt. If this retreat date fills and there is still more that want to do this quilt, I will host another retreat the week before or the week after to accommodate everyone!
