2019 Quilt Retreat
Our annual spring quilt retreat was held March 21-24, 2019.
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!
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.
