There is a change in the air – can you tell?

We have some changes being offered at Camp Mission Meadows for the fall quilt retreats. This fall we are only having 2 retreats instead of the normal 3.

To accommodate all of us who need to sew 24/7, the retreats have been reformatted and will start on MONDAY and end on the following Sunday. We hope this will help you tailor the time to fit your needs.

Another change this year is that we have added the opportunity to go back to sewing upstairs so that if someone is having a problem using the stairs, you won’t have to go up and down, and can sew on the first floor. We are also able to have some quilters stay in a couple of the dorm rooms over on the chapel side, so that again, if stairs are a problem, the dorms will work out better. This will now allow us to have more quilters join us during the week!

Each week has a different project and teacher: Week 1 is with Holly Dillaway and is Monday October 8 – Sunday October 14. Week 2 is with Joanne Adams and Monday October 15 – Sunday October 21.

Meals will begin on THURSDAY. Two microwave are available for you to use prior to Thursday, or you can go out with friends to the local eating places that are near to camp. (We can not use the stove or oven at camp)

Both retreats are suitable for beginners, or lifelong quilters, and is a great time to spend time with other quilters. Pull out a project that has been hanging around for a while, or start something fresh. You will find the other quilters in the room more than willing to share their expertise, and often their supplies to help you. And think about introducing a friend to quilting – a gift for their lifetime!

We now have access to an INDOOR SWIMMING POOL and HOT TUB at camp. We will coordinate times for open swim for us to use the pool and hot tub. Don’t forget your suit and a towel and plan to relax.

Holly will send you your table location and sleeping assignments so that when you arrive at camp, you will know where to unload for sewing and sleeping. Please park on the paved areas in case the ground is soft due to weather changes….

Select your projects, make sure your machine is in good working order, start gathering your fabric and let the retreat begin.
