2001 was another great year, back in Bird-in-Hand once again. (We know a good thing!) The retreat started on Thursday with the spools and hearts class. Friday morning we were all up bright and early ready for our shopping adventure, first stop Sauders.
Carol and Denny huddled around the flat folds, while a crowd gathered at the Modas.
Soon they were in line to get it cut,
and gradually started exiting with all their goodies.
Diane, Terry, Carol, Lynne, Anne and Charlotte
Marilyn, Nancy, Debbie, Bonnie, Wanda, Terry and Candy
Next stop Zooks followed by Old Country Store.
After lunch at Dienner's Country Restaurant,
and some more shopping at Dutchland Quilt Patch,
everyone split up for some individual shopping. After dinner we started the Watercolor Heart class, and enjoyed a retreat get aquatinted game.
Ellie (5th) and Nancy (1st) , Candy (5th) and Diane (1st)
Marilyn (1st) and Bonnie (5th), Anne (4th) and Nancy (2nd)
Matched up 5th year and 1st year retreaters, and 2nd year and 4th year retreaters had ten minutes to learn something about each other, then share it with the whole group.... it was very interesting!
