Ritas Quilting Retreat in Costa Rica
by Anne Watcher on Monday February 11th, 2008 at 5:00pmI had found out about Rita's quilt retreats on the internet when I was checking to see if any quilting goes on in Costa Rica. It was so funny to find out that Rita's place is basically across the highway from Norma's. I got the chance to go over today and meet Rita and some of her quilting friends. They were truly a friendly bunch and it was apparent that they all enjoy the craft.
Rita has a small quilt shop primarily for her retreat guests but will accommodate others. In the house she explained to me how she sets up for their retreats and the busy schedule she and her partner Jennifer prepare for their guests. It is a very homey, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, perfect for quilting. Later this month she has a group coming in and she has asked me back to spend a day with them so I can see first hand how the process goes.
Rita also has three fully furnished cottages for rent. The view of the mountains from the back yard is really beautiful. Please check out her websites listed below the pictures.
