Activities

Retreat qUILT ALONG

If you would like to participate in the Quilt Retreat QAL, we will be making the KQR Modern Sampler Quilt! This is a brand new pattern that I have not even released yet! So you all will get to be the first ones to make it! I will go over each block step by step throughout our time together. By the end of the week you should have at least one of each block made- if not a whole quilt top!

We will be working with another local quilt shop, Web Fabrics, to have fabric bundles available for you to purchase and have shipped to you in advance. This way you can cut your pieces out ahead of time and bring them ready to sew!

If you do not like the available bundle options, I will provide a fabric requirements list and you can gather your own bundle of fabric for this quilt!

More info to come for those who register!

FAT QUARTER BUNDLE CONTEST

We will send every participant a small FQ bundle that they can choose to use however they want. Bring your completed creation using those FQs to the retreat and we will put them all on display for everyone to enjoy! Then we will have a fun little contest with prizes!

Scrap Swap

On the first day we will have a Get-To-Know-You Scrap Swap! So bring your scraps or fabric that you no longer want/need (should be at least a FQ size). We will swap based on fabric sizes (For example: Approximate FQ sizes, Half Yard sizes, Yard or more sizes)

Make & Take Project

There will be a surprise Make & Take project on one of the days while at the retreat! Everyone will get a full kit and can either make it there or take it home to make.

Sit & Sew

You can opt in or out of any of the group activities! The main purpose of this retreat is to come together with your friends or make new friends and work on your quilting projects! So feel free to bring any of your quilt projects from home to work on!

EXtras

HArpers Ferry Hike/Photoshoot

We will take a short, but steep, hike/walk in Harpers Ferry for some beautiful scenery and historic backdrops! Bring a quilt and we will take some professional shots of you and your quilt! This will be an added cost that you would pay directly to the photographer. You will pay $30 per person per quilt and will receive 3 digital photos per quilt. *Please don’t bring more than 3 quilts on this hike and keep in mind that you will have to carry them yourself.
