Retreats

The next Cheat Retreat at White Bluffs Quilt Museum will be December 29 (Sunday) and December 30 (Monday) from 9AM to whenever.

If you crave quilting companionship, uninterrupted time to work on your projects, and if you have not been able to attend the Guild or Finley Grange retreats, White Bluffs Quilt Museum is offering an alternative - a zero-travel/low budget Quilt Till You Wilt experience.

The Museum (294 Torbett St.) will be set up with several ironing boards, cutting stations, and design walls.  Space is limited so sign up early.  There will be crock pots simmering in the kitchen; other snacks and side dishes will be potluck.

Cost is a bargain at $25/day - a fundraiser for the Museum.  Register and pay your nonrefundable fee at White Bluffs Quilt Museum or at a Guild member meeting.

Twice a year, up to 16 Tri-City quilters convene in Cove, OR with their sewing machines, UFOs, tools, gadgets, and snacks to spend some uninterrupted time sewing, laughing, and learning with friends.

The Guild books the Ascension School Camp & Conference Center usually in April and September.  Its accommodations include double rooms (two twin beds and a private bath); two are handicap accessible.

A kitchen (no stove/oven) is available to prepare uncooked meals, although 3 dinners (W/T/F) and 1 breakfast (Sunday) are included.  Cost is $80 per night and a $60 food package (4 meals).  There are several eating establishments close by.

The 2025 spring and fall retreat dates have been set.  Registration is not open at this time.

Spring - April 15-20, 2025 (Registration opens January 1, 2025)

Fall - September 16-21, 2025 (Registration opens July 1, 2025)
