Quilt Retreats
What is a Quilt Retreat?
A quilt retreat is a place for you to immerse yourself in quilting and sewing. You are surrounded by other quilters, free from distractions that might otherwise take up your quilting time.
Our retreat venues provide a comfortable atmosphere where you can concentrate on whatever projects you bring.
Think you are too much of a beginner? You will be surrounded by other quilters eager to help. Want to be inspired? Check out the amazing works of art being created around you. When you need a break, you can visit the snack table, take a nap, or take a walk.
Afraid you'll forget to pack something? It happens! Look below for a list of items that are brought to every retreat.

Forgot to pack something? It Happens!
Dragon Box Inventory
Melinda H. and other members have donated many sewing items that are available to use during retreat. This is especially helpful if you forgot a small item. It also helps to save some space when you pack to know we have larger items like irons and rulers available.
We fondly call this The Dragon Box. Why? Nobody knows!
Click the link below to see the list of what is available.
We thank Cortni R. for storing these items for us.
