Quilter’s Harvest: The Retreat House
Be Aware, Be Grateful
1. Wonderful fall weather, still in the upper 50s!
2. Family traveled safely to two different places
3. Hair cut

I’m still amped up about the Quilter’s Festival that took place in Alpine, Utah (and surrounding areas) last weekend!! Sydney from Alpine Retreats organized the FUN event! |
Since I was coming from out of town, Sydney invited me to stay at the Retreat House.
HOW LUCKY AM I?!
This is the room I was able to have sweet dreams!! CHARMING!
Did you notice the fireplace in the top picture? I was ‘all snugged up’ as Urban likes to say!
Every detail was attended to by Sydney. Fresh flowers, quilts, embroidered items and silver platters of candy were everywhere!
It was a wonderful place to absorb serenity and inspiration.
No need to tell you I slept quite well and when I woke up I was anticipating the fun day ahead.
Another bedroom downstairs with a full sized bed. This one has a large walk out deck.
Isn’t this tapestry beautiful? It hangs above the bed.
Below are pictures of a room with two single beds and one full sized.
One more cozy room with a double bed, balcony, fresh flowers and an amazing view!

Since I took over 100 pictures I thought I’d split them up. :) So coming up will be posts about the classes and teachers, one about the places I visited and one that shows Sydney’s quilts and some of mine!

What a beautiful retreat! It's been fun seeing all the pictures from Nanette and Rae Ann too. You ladies had a great time together.
What a beautiful place. It is a dream home. I so want to live there. Each and every bedroom looks so cozy and inviting. It is a good thig it is a place for quilting or I might not get out of that bed!
Talk about "Calgon - take me away" moments! I'm trying to convince someone in my town (and Jane's!!) to open a quilting retreat!! Dreamy!!
It looks like a person could really feel at home there. What a lovely house.
It looks like a wonderful place for a retreat! How lucky you are!
