This retreat is designed for beginners and more advanced students who feel they need some help with the selection of colors, fabrics, and prints. Through presentations and hands-on exercises you will gain confidence in your color and fabric choices. A simple piecing technique will be used to create unique and vibrant blocks.
Assistance can also be given in completing projects you feel need an injection of new or different color.

A full supply list will be provided when your Retreat is scheduled.

This weekend is designed for mothers and their daughters to join forces to create a simple quilt that will become a family keepsake. Basic sewing techniques and simple quilt finishing will be emphasized. Even if you have never made a quilt before, if you know you way around a sewing machine, you can do the work required during this Retreat.
Come enjoy a getaway with the most important woman in your life, relax, and get to know each other better.

A full list of supplies will be provided when the Retreat is scheduled. You will need a sewing machine in good working order, and know how to use it.

Participants will be encouraged to bring quilts from their collections that need repair, or that they have questions about.

Treasures In Time

This workshop is designed to guide individuals who want to either reproduce an antique quilt or use antique blocks and fabrics in a new quilt. With the many reproduction fabrics we have available to use today, it is possible to create wonderful antique looking quilts while still using modern techniques. We will discuss the use of antique fabrics, blocks, and tops and how to determine whether they can be used. Hand quilting will also be taught.

A full supply list will be provided at the time your retreat is scheduled.
