Upcoming Retreats for Quilting and Scrapbooking

I am working on a retreat for our quilters at the Horse & Buggy Inn in Liberty, KY. This is a cabin in the middle of the country (and across the road from a quilt fabric shop). It's quaint and will sleep approximately 10 people. There is space to place tables so we can sew or scrapbook. I can't wait to go. This area is a largely populated with Minnonites. So you see horse and buggies all around. Go to their website to see the pictures.

Next weekend I have a large retreat at Wooded Glen in Henryville, IN. This is a retreat and conference center with meeting space and 50 lodge rooms. The owners are very nice. The best part is the FOOD! There has never been a complaint about the food. This is truly homemade. They have a 24 hour snack bar (at no additional charge) that is stocked with fountain drinks, chips, candy, ice cream, etc. They put put fresh snacks (i.e. cheese balls, veggie trays, etc) twice a day. And finally the bring out warm cookies and milk late in the evening. You just can't beat this for a all inclusive facility.

So if you are interested in any of my retreats, please email or give me a call and I will get you registered.

Pieceful Haven Retreats

I have a retreat coming up on February 20 and many people have never seen this location. So I decided to post some pictures here so you can see what it is like. It's called Pieceful Haven and is located on Hwy 22 in Crestwood. I absolutely love this location as a scrapbooker and quilter. It's close to home, very warm and inviting, large, tons of space for scrapbooking and quilting, fully equipped kitchen where we usually try to start making our food plans about 2 weeks before the retreat date. I have space for 18 people max. Everyone gets a great chair on wheels, a 6-foot table, a comfortable twin bed. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs and 5 down. One room on each floor has 3 beds and all others have two. There are 2 bathrooms on each floor. A very large workroom and a sunroom to spread out. And a ramp outside in which you can roll your supplies right on in. There is a huge deck with tables and chairs on the back for those nice evenings.

I usually book very quickly, so if you are considering going, please send in your registration in quickly. If you have already been to this location, would you post your comment? That will give those who have never been an idea of others opinions. Thanks so much. Cost is $75 for 2 nights and 3 days (10am Friday until 6pm on Sunday). Depending on attendance, I can work out single day/night arrangements.

If you are interested in participating in any of these retreats throughout the year, email me at conniekoenig@insightbb.com for a registration form.
