Where better to immerse yourself in the art of quilting than right in your own sewing space, surrounded by your favorite tools, fabric, and your trusty machine?
Four days of dedicated quilting time (including our Thursday night meet & greet), fun games and prizes, exclusive retreat patterns, and plenty of laughter along the way. And yes — you’ll be surrounded by fabric, friends, and inspiration all weekend long, all from the comfort of your own sewing room!
We’ll kick things off on Thursday evening with a Meet & Greet — a relaxed chance to say hello, introduce yourself, and settle in before the sewing begins. Bring your favorite drink, pop into the Zoom room, and get ready to meet new quilty friends from near and far.
Throughout the retreat, we’ll sprinkle in fun games, surprise giveaways, and a few chances to win quilty goodies. These little breaks add just the right amount of laughter and excitement to keep our sewing energy high all weekend long.
On Sunday evening, we’ll wrap things up together with a virtual Show & Tell. It’s the perfect time to share your progress, cheer on your fellow retreat-goers, and celebrate all the sewing (and friendships) that bloomed over the weekend. You’ll leave inspired, motivated, and maybe even with a finished quilt in hand!
Meet the Weekend Wanderer Quilt, our exclusive retreat project!
This quilt is full of playful patchwork with a bold crisscross design that practically dances across the center. The colorful blocks are framed by a striking diamond border that gives the whole quilt a lively, finished look.
Whether you stick with a coordinated palette or dive into your stash for a scrappy mix, this quilt comes together quickly and is just the right balance of simple sewing and eye-catching design.
It’s the perfect project to work on during the retreat — engaging enough to keep you excited, but relaxed enough that you can chat, laugh, and sew along without stress.
The Quilt-Away Retreat Includes:
- Thursday Evening Meet & Greet – grab your favorite drink and join us for introductions, icebreakers, and setting the weekend vibe.
- Retreat Schedule & Packing List – a printable guide so you’ll know exactly what to bring to your “resort lounge” (aka sewing space).
- Replay Access – can’t make every minute live? You’ll have recordings of the group sessions so you won’t miss a thing.
- NEW Mug Notion Caddy Pattern – the perfect project to sew up during the retreat and keep your favorite tools handy.
- 3 Full Sewing Days (Friday-Sunday) – log into the retreat Zoom room, hang out while you sew, and pop in and out as needed.
- Show & Tell Wrap-Up – share your weekend progress and celebrate your wins with the group before we “depart.”
- Exclusive Retreat Pattern – a surprise quilt project designed just for Quilt-Away attendees (you won’t find it anywhere else).
- Games, Prizes & Giveaways – join in the fun with chances to win quilty goodies throughout the weekend.
This retreat is all about connection and creativity. You’ll log in and instantly find yourself surrounded by quilty friends who get it — the UFO piles, the overflowing stash, the excitement of starting something new.
