Retreat 2001

Lancaster, PA

The theme should have been WHAT A BLAST!

We had 19 ladies travel from all over the USA to attend this years retreat.  We were at Lancaster PA.  What a marvelous place for quilters!  We spent 3 glorious days laughing, shopping, laughing, playing games, laughing, sewing and of course....MORE LAUGHING!

Can you tell we had a great time meeting everyone??

Here are some wonderful pictures to remind us all what fun we had:

After our day of shopping, we had a HORRIBLE storm.  This picture is the street right in front of our hotel. It was the perfect night to sit in our hotel and play games and sew!
