QUILTERS RETREAT/REUNION



QUILTERS RETREAT/REUNION
MAY 19-22, 2011


In an effort to give former WQI members and other quilters an opportunity to come together to enjoy each other's company and spend some time quilting, we are offering a 2 1/2 day retreat at Covenant Harbor Retreat and Bible Camp

If you have not been to this facility before, please visit them at http://www.covenantharbor.org/.

Covenant Harbor is located on the shores of Geneva Lake in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.  The atmosphere here is tranquil.   There is a public path that follows the shoreline for it's entire 20 plus miles.  It is a great place to take a walk or just sit near the shore and meditate.  The sunsets can be breathtaking.

The food here is second to none.  The rooms are comfortable hotel style rooms with a private bath.

It's a great place to come before the summer gets into full swing and your projects take a back seat to your summer activities.

Please consider joining us.  We will have some pleasant surprises for you if you do.

  1. Is there a way to either tone down the background or make the type brighter for those of us with older eyes? Since I love color I would favor making all type bold.

    I am looking forward to the retreat and am glad that this blog was set up so the WQI members can keep in touch.

  4. Just a thought for the upcoming retreat. Since we won't have any teachers perhaps we could have a "theme". For instance, we could all make log cabin quilts in our own style. We'd all be able to do our own thing but have a common thread.

  5. Linda Muntean and I have done that before, Jan. We went to a retreat in Indiana a few times where most of the attendees worked from the same pattern. It was great fun to see the different colorways. There were some quilters who chose to work on a project of their own. It all worked really well.
