Annual Summer Retreats Hosted by Quilts With A Heart
Every summer I host what I call, the Summer Retreat. The retreat is held every summer on the fourth weekend of August, sort of an end of summer, get ready for fall retreat. Each year I select or design a quilt that we will make during the weekend. My goal is to have a quilt top that can be completed when you leave on Sunday, however, depending on how much visiting goes on, that may or may not happen! I have been hosting the retreats since 2007, and we have had a lot of fun! Sometimes there are size and color options, but even when we are making the same quilt, they don't always come out exactly alike, it so fun to see everyone put their own special touch to the quilt.
The weekend includes the two-night stay at the retreat facility and all the fabrics you will need to make the selected quilt top, binding and of course the pattern. I provide the Friday night meal, the attendees are divided into groups and each group is responsible for one meal. This way no one person or group is always in the kitchen getting a meal ready. We have games to play throughout the weekend and show and tell on Saturday evening.
Shown here are the retreat quilts from previous retreats, sad to say, I still have not yet finished the quilt from the first retreat in 2007 and I can't seem to remember what we did in 2008! Browse through and if you would like to join us for a retreat, check back here for information about the next Summer Retreat. Information about the upcoming Summer Retreat 2017 will be posted soon!!!
