2017 Diamond Lake Fall Retreat

The Fall retreat at Diamond Lake is set for the weekend of September 22-23-24. As usual, the Fall retreat will offer participants time to work on their UFO’s, as well as offering a Mystery Quilt class, taught by me. This year’s quilt is an extremely simple and easy block to cut, sew and assemble, but which looks more complicated than it is. The coupon to register for the retreat is below and we encourage you to register early, if you plan on attending because the Fall retreat usually fills up more quickly than Spring’s.
Just to recap in case you are a newer member of MSQG, the registration fee you pay to Mt. Stars pays for the sewing room rental, a small subsidy for Saturday’s chair-massage therapist, as well as actual costs of providing the retreat. The surplus goes into the Guild’s general fund, allowing the Guild to subsidize some of the cost of providing world-class teachers each year. Back to retreat specifics, you then pay for your own housing – most participants share a cabin rental with others or get a motel or kitchenette for themselves. To make your reservations just call the toll free number for Diamond Lake Resort, 1-800-733-7593.

The retreat begins about noon on Friday and you are welcome to stay as late on Sunday as you wish. We usually begin packing up the Guild supplies about 1:00 that afternoon but you do not have to leave when we do! The sewing room is upstairs at the main lodge, overlooking the lake, and couldn’t be more beautiful. We work to provide a relaxing and fun environment for you. I hope you’ll consider joining us, especially if you haven’t attended one in the past.
Please email me with any questions you may have that I haven’t addressed.
