TWO Summer QUILT RETREATS
You’re invited to historic Hermann, MO, for the ultimate quilt retreat!
I’m excited to announce that Quilting Bee Fabrics will host TWO THREE-day Summer Quilt Retreats from July 23-25, 2024, AND July 26-28, 2024 at the Vinchester Inn in downtown Hermann, MO. Bring your sewing machine and favorite notions; we’ll provide the rest! The retreat price includes 3 meals, snacks, 2 project kits (Snapdragon Cove quilt and Aimee’s zipper bag), VIP shopping and some surprise goodies. The goal is that you don’t have to lift a finger to do anything but sew while you are at the retreat.
Book Your Retreatabout the ultimate quilt retreat
Quilting Bee Fabrics is all about giving quilters a relaxed, fun atmosphere in which you can learn new techniques, make new friends, and of course, sew!
For the weekday retreat (July 23-25) check-in begins on Tuesday morning, July 23 at the Vinchester Inn event space. The weekend retreat (July 26-28) check-in will be on Friday morning at the hotel.
Each quilter is provided at least a 3′ space at a table with access to four cutting and four pressing stations.
The rate for commuter friends is $315/person. See below for lodging options.
Quilt Retreat Projects
Included in your retreat reservation will be two great projects!
The first afternoon we will begin on Aimee’s zipper bag. Aimee will demo this fun bag; it’s an easy sew (YES, even the zipper is easy). You will sew this bag up in a jiffy giving us plenty of time to work on the quilt top project. All products for this zipper bag are included in your retreat reservation.
The next day, Aimee will show how to transform two Charm Packs into the Snapdragon Cove quilt from the Just Two Charm Pack Quilts book. The Charm Packs, background fabric, accent fabric and the book are all included in your retreat.
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.
