"Throughout the whole weekend Steffi, Carol and Colette were always on hand to answer questions, give guidance, help and encouragement. Nothing was too much trouble for any of our hosts and instructors. The project we did was good fun and I believe we all came away from the retreat with a usable and attractive tote. The evening activities were great fun."
