Jill Schumacher Quilt Retreat

We had a great time at our recent quilt retreat with Jill Schumacher.  For those of you who don't know, Jill is an award winning free motion quilter specializing in heirloom quilting.  Check-in was Sunday afternoon at Zephyr Point Presbyterian Conference Center, and after everyone got their goody bags, t-shirts, found their rooms, and set up their machines, we met for dinner in the main dining room.  A few hardy souls started their projects on Sunday evening, but most were tired and opted for a good night's sleep before getting started.  In addition to learning new techniques, background patterns, practicing feathers, we had a gift exchange on Monday night, a Champagne & Chocolate Shopping Affair at Fabrics Unlimited on Tuesday night, a fun competition on Wednesday night, and Show & Tell on Thursday night. Friday check-out came too soon, and many are already planning for next year's April retreat. 

If you missed out on the April fun, the good news is that we have a few spots left for the next retreat happening June 3-8.  Call the shop 775-588-3211 for more info and to register.
