Quilt Retreat
2019 Quilt Retreat
Our 2019 retreat is less than 6 months away! The dates have been set: March 21-24, 2019....Thursday - Sunday. It will again be held at The Firs Retreat Center in Bellingham. See the map above. Thankfully the prices will be the same as last year. For the full 4 days/ 3 nights/ 3 meals per day, the cost will be $240. We need a minimum of 20 people to fulfill our obligations for that price. Day trippers are welcome, too. The price is $20/day; $10/meal. Hazel and Jan need a verbal interest now to see if we will meet those obligations. A deposit of $50 in January will save a spot for you. There are two people to a room. You must arrange for your own roommate. The format will remain the same, so you can see more details below.
2018 Quilt Retreat
Our annual spring quilt retreat was held March 22-25,2018.
We had over 30 members and some non-members attend. Twenty some were full timers who spent the nights there and the rest were "day trippers". Lots of quilts were made, socializing, and eating (of course) took place and fun was had by all! The 2019 Quilt Show raffle quilt top was completed by several members participating.
It was held at The Firs Retreat Center in Bellingham, WA. The address is 4605 Cable St, Bellingham, WA 98229. Take the Lakeway exit off of I-5 going east. Stay on Lakeway, it will turn into Cable St. It is located on the left.
Members and non-members can attend based on first come, first served.
Room occupancy is from 1-3 people per room. A $10 extra charge is required for a private room. The total cost for all four days is $240 which includes 3 nights lodging and 10 meals. Full payment is due by March 1, 2018.
Also day participants are welcome to come as well. There is a day charge of $20/day to cover the cost of the facility and $10/meal. Day trippers must sign up with Hazel or Jan by March 1 to arrange for the meals.
We will be sewing in the Alpine Room.You may bring design walls to hang up for your use. Extension cords will be provided and there will be a refrigerator for our use.
Participants are welcome to arrive after 9:00am on Thursday the 22th. We must leave by 2:30pm on Sunday the 25th. Remember to bring all your personal items, but linens and bedding are provided. A few key items to bring to help you are: a flashlight, a small iron at your table, a personal sewing light, and your own chair if you prefer (but chairs are provided). And of course all your favorite equipment, tools, fabrics, and projects!
There will be a game night on Friday! If you want to participate in the LRC game, please bring six 2 1/2" x WOF fabric strips. There will be a show and share on Saturday evening, but other than that you are free to work on whatever you like for as long as you like.
