Fall Retreat (in person) at Watergirl Quilt Co. - November 17th, 18th and 19th

Fall will be upon us; crisp air and gardens beginning to hibernate.  Still time to start a new or finish a project, perhaps a Christmas gift or two!

Join us for an in-person retreat at Watergirl Quilt Co. and make new friends and/or catch up with old ones. Learn something new perhaps and spend time doing what you love!  There is sure to be good company, conversation and some laughter along the way. 

This 3 day retreat is hosted by Michelle and her team. Let's dig out those projects waiting to be finished or started! Being in a room full of quilters is energizing!   

You will have your own table. Plus, you may use our cutting mats, irons and ironing boards. Coffee and tea will be available all weekend, complimentary. Meals are included (see descriptions for more details) and you will receive a welcome gift.
