"SLEEP IN YOUR OWN BED GUILD RETREAT": MONDAY, JULY 27 TO FRIDAY JULY 31 - OPEN TO GUILD MEMBERS ONLY
The Swisher Center is allowing us to have a week long retreat at no charge!! We have 2 remaining
seats available of the total 26 at this time. The dates are Monday, July 27 to Friday July 31, 2026.
Hours: 9am to 4:30 pm Monday thru Thursday and 9 am to 2:30 pm on Friday. If you are not able to
attend all 5 days, please let me know. We may have a wait list.
It will be a simple retreat held during the day and go home each day to "sleep in your own bed". You can
leave your space set up - the Center has been safe enough to house our quilts overnight during judging
of previous shows. You will have one student table and rolling chair to use. You may bring a SMALL
side table, a SMALL IRON, your supplies, and especially, an extension cord. Lunch and drinks are each
attendee's responsibility. We can move the tables as our limited space allows. There are limited
electrical outlets so we will have to share. There will be several ironing stations with big irons and
several cutting tables on risers for sharing. Plus several tables for limited layouts. This will be the
perfect time for piecing versus joining blocks for a large quilt due to the size of your provided student
size table/ space.
This is our first time using the 2 rooms (113 & 114) for a retreat. Remember, it is a free event and we will
all work together to have a fun retreat.
If you have any questions, please call Cindi.
