Retreat Info
Our quilt retreat in 2021 was held at Indigo Star in Hartford, Wisconsin over the weekend of Thursday, September 30 to Sunday, October 3. There were 11 happy ladies participating. Thanks to Denise and Carol for putting this retreat together! We had so much fun, ate so much good food, and got so much accomplished on our projects! Click here to see some of our projects.
We had a GREAT time at our VIRTUAL quilt retreat on Saturday, March 27, 2021!
There were over 30 participants between the Oconomowoc and Watertown quilt guilds, including folks working on quilts or other sewing projects, and others who were crocheting and knitting. It was great seeing and chatting with everyone - hope you had a chance to join us!
