Description

This 2 day retreat is hosted by Michelle and her team.

Want to make time for sewing this summer—or simply take a break from the busy pace of the season?  Come enjoy uninterrupted creative time in a comfortable, air-conditioned space, with tasty snacks and no cooking required.  Pull out those projects you’ve been meaning to start (or finally finish) and settle in - there’s nothing quite like the energy of a room full of quilters!

Join us for this 2-day, in-person retreat at Watergirl Quilt Co. to sew, relax, and connect. Catch up with old friends, make some new ones, learn something along the way, and enjoy plenty of great conversation and laughter. It’s also a wonderful chance for friends from different places to meet up and share their love of sewing together.

Ready for a little self-care? Come on your own or bring a friend. Choose a project—or two or three - pack up your sewing tote and machine, and join us for two fun-filled days of quilting.

We’ll keep you fed, inspired, and surrounded by good company for a weekend of creativity, connection, and a little after-hours quilt shop fun!

NOTE:  projects, such as EPP, hand embroidery, knitting, crocheting, etc. are also welcome.
