When I first met Judy Groom on a trip to the Sisters Oregon Quilt Show, the first thing I noticed was the mischievous glint in her eye and the irrepressible smile on her face. I soon learned that she was an imaginative risk-taker as well as an avid quilter. Later, as a guest in her home I enjoyed delightful food, engaging conversation, and quilting inspiration. I applaud Judy's retreat and look forward to events in her new establishment because I know that she will be a spectacular hostess and proprietor as well as an endless source in inspired quilting knowledge. I will see you there!
