Thank you for your enquiry regarding the two day Patchwork Retreats I hold in my shop. I have been running these retreats for 10 years with many groups returning the same weekend year after year. The first year I held 6 retreats now I have up to 40 retreats a year. The retreats are either hell on weekends or mid week being Wednesday and Thursday. These retreats can be organised to suit a group of up to 12 ladies or for the individual and cater for the beginner through to the more experienced patchworker.
The retreats are held from my American style barn, which is “The Cottage on the Hill”. It is situated on our family grazing property 4 ½ kilometres south of Nundle, which in turn is 45 minutes drive south east of Tamworth. The barn is air conditioned for the summer months and heated by a pot belly stove for winter.
The retreats are aimed at having a relaxing 2 days away in the country with friends, new or old, enjoying country hospitality, good food and best of all working on a new quilting project of your choice. On arrival you will be given a choice of at least 6 projects, there are usually kits available for these or you can choose your own selection of fabrics. I do a lot of the cutting, to give you maximum opportunity to complete your quilt top in the 2 days.
All you need to bring along to class is your sewing machine, general sewing and patchwork equipment. Cutting boards are not required.
Cost of the retreats for 2007 are $220.00 which includes tuition, an assortment of home made treats for morning and afternoon tea, a scrumptious lunch is served daily in my country garden and $100.00 worth of fabrics towards your quilt top.
Accommodation is usually booked at the Hills of Gold Motel in Nundle, cost is $35.00 per person per night twin shared which includes a continental breakfast. The evening meals are at your own expense, there are 4 different eating places in Nundle.
Bookings are essential, for further questions or if you would like available dates please give me a call during business hours, 10 am to 4 pm Tuesday to Sunday, on the above number or send me an email.
I look forward to having you as part of a retreat in the future.
