Retreat with Us

Mom and I had such a good time this past summer meeting so many of our blog readers that we just didn’t want to wait until our next quilt retreat in 2017 to see you again, so we’ve decided to host another retreat this summer!

This time around it will be a more relaxing retreat with no classes.  We will have one fun day focused on a charity sewing project…the rest of the time is yours to enjoy working on any projects you wish.  You can even bring a project that is one of ours and if needed Kelli and I can answer your questions about it.

One of the days (likely Saturday) we will be focusing on making charity quilts to share with others.  We will be providing a pattern along with background fabric and will be asking you to bring either 21 jelly roll strips (2 ½” x WOF) or 21 layer cake squares (10” x 10”) in either Civil War prints, Brights, or with a Patriotic theme.  They can be cut from your own fabric or be leftovers from other projects.

Kelli and I will be sewing with you too.

The retreat will be held at LouAnn’s Quilt Garden and Retreat.  Here is Bonnie Hunter’s review of the location.  LouAnn is a real sweetie!!

Being we aren’t holding class we’ll be able to squeeze in some other area attractions including quilt shops and the area Amish businesses for those who would like to do that.

Our retreat will be held at Lou Ann’s Quilt Garden and Retreat in Oelwein, Iowa from July 21 – 24, 2015 (4 days/3 nights).  Breakfast will be included each morning along with sleeping arrangements Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.  Lunch and supper meals will be on your own.  If you are in need of accommodations on either Wednesday or Sunday nights, they are available for an extra fee.  There are a few handicapped beds available but you need to speak up right away if you need one.

Right now, we only have 25 spots that we are going to be available for the retreat.  Some of them are already filled.  If you would like to attend, please let me know as soon as possible so that we can reserve your seat.  We are taking people on a first come, first serve basis.

Payment options are as follows:

Option 1–$210.00 if paid in full by February 1st (discount included)

Option 2–$125.00 deposit due March 1^st, $100.00 due April 1st.

**No refunds will be issued after April 1st.**

If you have any questions please email Kelli.  She is in charge of organizing this.  Here’s her email.  kellijo1987@gmail.com

We hope you can come!!
