Quilting Retreat

Next Retreat: November 13th - 16th, 2008

Twice a year the guild holds a quilting retreat at Vina de Lestonnac Retreat Center in Temecula. One is held in the spring and the other in the fall. This is a wonderful time to spend with other guild members and get to know one another while indulging in our passion of quilting. The sewing room is large and bright with lots of room to quilt, cut, sew and design. The sleeping rooms are in a separate building a few steps away from our sewing room. The dining room is a nice walk of about a half block, just enough to get the blood flowing from having been sitting and sewing for several hours. As you walk back from your meals you can take in the sights of surrounding vineyards. We do not have a required project; you may work on your own projects and solicit help/input from those attending.

Wanda stopped by to take a sewing break at the retreat.

The guild’s quilting retreats are a wonderful opportunity to work on your own quilting projects or something for the auction without having to worry about housework, meals, shuttling children around, etc.

The dates for 2008 have been scheduled so you can mark your calendars now and start making your plans to attend.  The first retreat was from April 17th through the 20th.  If you missed the 1st retreat, the second date is in November from the 13th through the 16th (two weekends before Thanksgiving).  We're looking forward to seeing you there.

As with most places their rates have gone up, so for a double occupancy for 3 days the rate is $200 and an additional $50 for the 4th day.  If you are interested in a private room the rate is $280 for 3 days and an additional $50 for 4th day.  This cost includes dinner on your arrival day through lunch on the day of you departure. A $100 deposit will hold a space for you.  Kay Q. will start taking sign ups for the November retreat at the August guild meeting with a deposit of $100 due at that time and the balance due at the November meeting. 

Come and work on the projects of your own choice.  All of the rooms, both sleeping and sewing areas are air conditioned.  The food is plentiful and very good.  An extra added attraction is the hot air balloons that take off in the morning and wineries in the area.  Rennie, the lady who does massages will be there. There are a couple of lovely quilt shops nearby; who can pass on purchasing more fabric for our stash.

You may check out the Vina de Lestonnac Retreat Center at their website; www.vinalestonnac.com.
