Retreats
HMQG hosts two member retreats each year - Spring and Fall
Retreats run Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. All meals are provided from dinner Friday through breakfast/brunch Sunday.
Thursday is an add-on day for those who choose this option. Meals are typically not provided on Thursday night through Friday lunch. More details are sent in advance of each retreat.
Sign-ups are through the Member page. The date and time of sign-ups opening are announced in advance. Sign ups are first-come, first-served; a limited wait list is also available when the retreat sells out. For the Spring retreat, there are 23 spots available. 50% of the retreat cost is due at sign-up; the remaining balance due by April 14th. Spring Retreat costs will be $250. Only 1 ticket will be available per person!

Sheets, quilt, and towels are provided but bring your own pillow. Rooms accommodate four retreaters so consider packing an eye mask or earplugs/earbuds for sleep comfort.

You may want to cut and prepare your fabrics at home so you can get right to sewing.

Bring more projects to work on than you think you will complete.
-
Bring some hand sewing if you need a break from your machine.
