An enthusiastic group of quilters gathered in Oxdrfit for the week end.  Quilt artist, Nancy Bergman of Keewatin, ON gave a trunk show Friday night (about 40 in attendance).  Saturday and Sunday, Nancy shared fabric landscape techniques with 18 students while in another room another group busily worked on quilt projects of their choosing.  A number of the quilters literally camped out at the facility and enjoyed evening socialing by campfire light.  Special thanks to retreat organizer, Heather and the genuine thoughtfulness of hosts Joan and Bob!
