TO THE NORTH WOODS - Come to a quilter's, scrap-booker's, and creator's
retreat, called Colors of Fall, October 1-4, at Wilderness Wind, Ely,
Minnesota. Let your laughter join
that of the loons as we quilt, create and bask in the spectacular colors of
fall. Our days will be rich and fluid with time for creative expression, good
conversation and opportunities to soak in the beauty of fall. We will
knit, sew, hike, and quilt on a baby quilt for the MCC Relief Sale. Visit
