...I went on quilt retreat! 
There were about 100 of us set up in the main conference room ... 
Everywhere I looked there was an abundance of fabric...
And quilting supplies galore!
And of course plenty of treats for sharing...
This is pretty much what every table looked like...full to the brim with fun fun fun...we all had a blast!
This is Amy from American Quilting who hosted the retreat. What a cutie! I just love her...thanks Amy!Once again you outdid yourself and put on a fantastic retreat:)
There were 4 of us on my table....this is my friend Susann who sat across from me... 
...and then my friend Judi who sat next to Susann.... 
...and Rae Ann who sat next to me.
We all had a great time together and did alot of sewing...visiting...eating... and laughing.And we did plenty of goofing off at the same time...lol.
I was surrounded everywhere by all kinds of quilty goodness...here are a few random shots of what I saw... 
What do you think?...Does it look like fun to you?I heart retreats:)
Everything that I saw...I wanted to take a picture of.
Can you believe that I took 236 pictures!
Obviously I can't show them all but I have so much more more to share with you throughout this week ...including my class and trunk show with Sandy Klopp!
.... so stay tuned girls!

Thanks bunches.
Looks and sounds like a whole load of fun. I went to a smaller version in Sydney on Saturday - it's such fun to get together with other crafters and be surrounded by gorgeous creations.
Wow Lori. What a fun time you all had!! I love all the beautiful sewing that you shared with us. :o)

What a delightful week end you enjoyed. You were obviously surrounded by very inspirational and talented women. Thank you for sharing.
I'd love to know more about Susann's little red light, too.
It looks like tons of fun!
I've been in a quilting slump lately but you have given me so much inspiration I just may start another quilt! Love all the photos you shared with us.
What an abundance of wonderful quilty goodness!!!! Looks like you had an amazing time! And your friends all look like they could be sisters. :-)
Looks like you must've had a blast. All thoses pretty colored fabrics being made into all those wonderful projects and seeing them all must've been inspiration enough. And the chocolate and treats can't hurt either right? LOL
Lori, I so enjoy seeing retreats and all the fun you girls are having. The eye candy just brings so much inspiration to get us going. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like a lot of fun to me -- especially to see all the different projects being worked on. I'm trying to imagine the sound of 100 sewing machines. :-)
oh that looks like a whole lotta fun. Good friends and fabric = a great time. I'm sure you were burning up your feather weight.
It looks like a fun retreat and lots of beautiful quilts being made.
