My friend and I were thinking how nice it would be to get away for a
week and just SEW. No families, no work, just us and our sewing
machines.

And it occured to me. We need SEWING CAMP A conference? An event of
some sort - a couple of master quilters and seamstresses (forgive me
if there is a real term other than master, I am truly a novice) and a
bunch of people descend upon the place with sewing machines. A couple
of expert people can teach a seminar here and there, but most of the
time is dedicated to sewing. And maybe some wine in the evenings.

Does such a thing exist?
