Deb2bie Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi everyone!!! You got me started bragging and now I have something else to tell you!!! I have been planning a retreat. In June, my new guild, The Howell Melon Patchers, went to The Springs Retreat Center in Gladwin, MI. It is a fantastic facility with well lit spacious sewing areas, comfy, cozy hotel style sleeping rooms-(2 double beds and a private bath), & last but not least;:) 3 delicious meals prepared by the staff . All the particulars are on my website and my facebook!! I feel sooo 21st century!! The retreat is Nov. 9th-13th, 2009 (4nites & 12 meals) The price is $255. The bonus is that Karen McTavish made room in her schedule to teach 3 classes for me at the retreat. The fees for those is separate so if you want to just finish your Christmas projects ---or start a new one you can!!! You only pay the $255. Check it out and of you have questions ask away!!!!

dancingstitcher Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Are you throwing in a free snow storm too? With Michigan temperatures below normal this year, a November retreat could get pretty exciting if you are snow bound. I grew up in Michigan and can still remember driving from Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie in a blizzard. Good luck Debbie. Your enthusiasm is exciting. Chop some wood. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Debbie, I took the new owners class from you a while back. I have an Ultimate II. At the moment I cannot get it to work... it keeps skipping stitches and thread breaking. But anyway if you have any insight on this I would appreciate it. I already talked to Dawn Cavanaugh and am trying to check for burrs on the hook. I will be working on that this weekend. Anyway my question is....... The retreat looks like a lot of fun but I would not be able to get off of work for a whole week. Is it possible to just take a class from Karen McT. or do you have to attend the entire retreat to take a class? Shawn Oakland, MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb2bie Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Vicki, Michigan people aren't scared of a little weather!!! You are the first to mention it!!! Shawn, give me a call about your machine and I'll see what I can think of to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlette Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hey Vicki..you've been in AZ too long! I took my new owners class last Dec in MI and drove from Akron, OH to Stevensville in 4 1/2 hours! Yes it was cold and we had some snow but not bad...of course I'm used to the lake effect that we get! Enjoy the summer heat..I'm in MT now and it's 54 degrees!! No fires though..yipee!!

Deb2bie Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Karen McTavish is driving from Duluth, MN to Wisconsin for a quilt program then over to us. I don't think the weather man would dare tangle with her plans!!! There are still places left in her classes if you are interested!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziesgirl Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Would be sweet if she wanted to visit a LITTLE quilt shop on her way....HINT, HINT... It really shouldn't be out of her way coming from Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Debbie, I got my machine running again. Not exactly sure which of the things I did corrected the problem but the important thing is it is running..... I have a question for you about the retreat The retreat looks like a lot of fun but I would not be able to get off of work for a whole week. Is it possible to just take a class from Karen McT. or do you have to attend the entire retreat to take a class? Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb2bie Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Shawn, I am filling the classes with Karen with retreat attendees first. If there is space available, I would love to have students come just for the day. I will let you know if I have space when it gets a little closer.

shawn Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Debbie That sound great. Do you still have my contact information? phone number, etc. If not let me know and I can call you and leave my number. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsleader Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wow, this sounds like a lot of fun. Unfortunately I will not be able to come this year as my daughter is getting married on the 14th of November. She might just be a little put out at me if I went to a retreat the week before her wedding. Could you please keep me in mind for future retreats. I am game on attending one anywhere. I LOVE RETREATS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb2bie Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Shawn, To be safe you should send the info to me again. I had a computer crash in June so I think you were wiped out. I got some stuff restored but I don't see you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
