A Quilt Retreat Weekend for MEN!
September 23, 24 - 25, 2011

We've searched and searched but we can't find anyone else that is offering this to the quilting men of the world -- a retreat dedicated and organized for the male quilter!

We started our Men's Retreat in 2008 and it is usually held during the month of September.

The format for the Men's Retreat is very similar to our very own Brown Bag Retreats -- you bring your own!

Bring your own what?

Bring your own sewing/quilting project and work on what you want to complete.

There are no workshops to attend. There are no classes to attend. There are no deadlines to meet. There are no appointment times to rush off to.

There is you. Your sewing machine (You bring your own). Your own six-foot table (we supply the table). Your own project. Your own wall or floor outlet that you don't have to share with anyone else (You do need to bring a surge protector though).

We have our own 2,400 square foot retreat center located right next to our shop, The Creation Station Fabric & Quilt Shop. It's nice and convenient in case you leave something behind or are inspired to start something new.

Doors to the Retreat Center open at 8 am on Friday morning. You can sew as long as you wish, even straight through the night if you want. The Retreat ends on Sunday at 3 pm.

Friday night is a potluck dinner. Each quilter brings their favorite dish (It can be a main dish, salad or dessert). We'll even have a grill on hand if you would like to cook over an open flame.

On Saturday night, we serve several different home-cooked soups, varieties of fresh-baked bread and a fresh, green salad. It's a tradition we began at our very first retreat and attendees love to sample the specially prepared fare.

The point of our retreat is for you to get some work done and hopefully make some new friends while you are here. It may help to visit our page for our Brown Bag Retreats. As mentioned above, we're following that format for this second-ever experiment. You can read about our Brown Bag Retreats by clicking here.
