What is a quilt retreat?

A quilting retreat is a multi-day event where quilting enthusiasts come together to work on their
projects, learn new techniques, attend workshops, and enjoy a creative, relaxing environment.
It’s an opportunity to focus on quilting without the distractions of daily life, all while socializing
with like-minded people.

Do I need to be an experienced quilter to attend?

Not at all! Our retreat welcomes quilters of all skill levels—from beginners to advanced.
Workshops and activities are tailored to different experience levels, and our instructors are
happy to help everyone feel comfortable.

Can I attend with a group of friends?

Absolutely! Quilting retreats are a great way to bond with friends. If you’re coming with a group, let us know during registration so we can arrange for you to sit or room together if possible. We also offer group discounts for groups of 6 or more. (Just an idea!) Contact us for details.

What meals are included?

Our retreat provides breakfast, most lunches, and daily snacks service. Dinners will typically be on your own. This is a great opportunity to get out and explore all of the local flavors of our amazing destinations. If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences, please let us know during registration, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.

Will there be instructors or workshops?

Yes! For our week long Signature Retreat Experiences, we’re excited to offer a variety of workshops led by expert instructors plus the opportunity to sew a Retreat Exclusive PMQ. In our more condensed Signature Lite Retreat Experience, you will have the opportunity to sew a Retreat Exclusive PMQ. Detailed workshop schedules and topics will be announced as we announce additional retreats.

What if I don’t want to participate in all the workshops?

That’s perfectly fine! While we encourage you to participate in the workshops to learn new skills, we also offer plenty of free sewing time where you can work on your own projects at your own pace. The retreat is meant to be flexible and enjoyable for everyone.
