Imagine a space where you can quilt without interruption, surrounded by inspiration, fabric, and friends who share your passion.
The Benefits of a Quilting Retreat
- Dedicated Time & Focus – Escape daily distractions and immerse yourself in creativity.
- Connection & Camaraderie – Build friendships, learn from fellow quilters, and enjoy a supportive community.
- Comfort & Convenience – Steps away from our retail store, both The Nest and The Coop make it easy to grab supplies & browse fabric.
- Inspiration & Productivity –Guests often finish more projects in a few days than months at home!
Preparing for Your Retreat
- Plan Projects – Choose your quilting projects and gather fabrics, patterns, and notions.
- Pack Smart – Bring essential sewing tools but remember retreat centers frequently have common quilting supplies available if you need something extra.
- Dress for Comfort – Layer clothing for varying room temperatures.
- Stay Organized – Use bins, rolling totes, or project bags for an organized and accessible workspace.
- Bring Snacks & Hydration – Fully equipped kitchens are available, but your favorite snacks make the experience more enjoyable.
