I had two spots unexpectedly become available for the April 16-19, 2026 Quilting Retreat. I will be hosting this retreat. Come join us for a weekend of laughter, sewing and friendship! Note that the two spots remaining are for (2) 4 ft sections. If they aren't both filled in the coming weeks, then I will allow one person to upgrade to an 8 ft table. However, at this time, all my normally offered 8ft table upgrades have been taken.
