Thinking about Fall Retreat but don't have someone to come with you?

Come anyway!

Some people arrive with friends, some come on their own, and it doesn't take long before everyone is visiting, comparing projects, sharing ideas and laughing about something across the room.

October 9–11 at Clover Hall.
Bring your projects. We'll take care of the meals.

We'd love to have you join us—don't wait too long to grab your spot!

What could you get done with THREE DAYS set aside for your projects?

Maybe start something new. Maybe tackle a UFO. Maybe bring three projects because choosing just one would be ridiculous.

At Fall Retreat, you decide what comes with you—quilting, embroidery, handwork, machine embroidery, or whatever else you've been wanting time to work on.

Add good food and plenty of laughs, and you've got a pretty good way to spend October 9–11.

Come join us at Clover Hall! Registration is open now.

Okay, confession time.

How many Jelly Rolls do you own that are still perfectly wrapped because they're "too pretty to open"? 😂

Project Jelly Roll Day may be just the excuse you need.

We're celebrating with Roll With It! on September 19 — a day of sewing, pizza, prizes and fellow quilters at The Stitch.

So... are you bringing one from your stash or looking for something new?
