Quilt Retreat!
This is where I will be listing information about ALL of my quilt retreats. Each retreat will have it’s own section, and projects may differ between retreats – so look at the bold header in each section and make sure you are looking at the right set of information!
I have been asked about a deadline for the pre-registration deposit for retreats, there are not specific due dates, but I can only accept registration until the retreat fills. So please keep this in mind as you are planning for the retreats – if you know you intend to go, do not delay getting your registration form in.

For those who have asked about the Hebron retreat – please note that we have updated this topic with the registration form. If you want to stay updated on any changes to the Quilt Retreats page – sign up for the email list using the link at the top of this topic.
Where is the picture gallery? I know I’ve seen pics from previous retreats but now can’t find them
Pictures from past retreats can be found under the “Quilt Retreats” tab (in the list on the right side column). But here’s an easy link to those posts: http://sheilareinke.wordpress.com/tag/quilt-retreat/
