The Countdown Is On!

Yes, the countdown is on for the 2013 Mayflower Quilter's Retreat at Pictou Lodge, just a mere 10 weeks to go till the quilters invade Pictou Lodge! Some of the committee visited Pictou Lodge this week to finalize a few details and have a tour around to see some of the changes and upgrades. I think you will all be quite thrilled.

The new bikes are ready and waiting if you feel a need to go for an explore around the Lodge property.

The Adirondack chairs are ready and waiting if you want to sit by the Northumberland Shore, a great place to do some handwork!

Every cabin has new beds, new linens, fresh coats of paint, new furniture and lighting fixtures just to name a few things! Love that fabric!

There is a new chef this year, Chef Thomas and if our lunch is any indication, the food is going to wonderful! Chef Courtney who had been at the Lodge for many of our Retreats is on maternity leave!

We are so pleased that we have a full Retreat again this year, classes are full! We are grateful to everyone who keeps coming back and we look forward to meeting those quilters who are coming for a first time.

We are also pleased to welcome our new merchant to the Retreat this year. Jacque from the Mira Stitch 'n Post will be with us, can't wait to meet her and see the goodies she is bringing.
