Quilt Retreat Projects

Included in your retreat reservation will be a beautiful quilt project! 

On the first afternoon we will jump right into the Shine Remix quilt pattern by Sherri McConnell from A Quilting Life Designs. We’ll start by cutting pieces and then onto the fun of piecing the blocks. All products for this quilt top are included in your retreat reservation.

On day two and three, we’ll continue working on our quilts.Be sure to take advantage of a local massage therapist that will be giving complimentary 15 minute chair massages on Thursday, March 13 and Saturday, April 12. 

Feel free to bring your unfinished projects from home or drop in at Quilting Bee Fabrics to purchase anything you may want to start new. The projects are included in the retreat; however, you do not have to join in on the projects.
