Join me in October in south-central Texas for a rural, rustic Texas-style Quilt Retreat at the Texas Quilt Barn in LaGrange, Texas. Although the city name was changed to protect the guilty, there was a Broadway musical and a 1982 film based on the infamous history of a certain poultry-related establishment that once existed in LaGrange — hence the name of this retreat. The Texas Quilt Barn is located centrally between Houston, San Antonio and Austin (approximately 1 hour from AUS – Austin Bergstrom International Airport – shuttle service is available, let me know well ahead of the event).
The sewing room is spacious, well lit with each quiltmaker having two 4’ wooden tables (L shaped!), design walls, and comfy rolling office chairs! While meals are provided — there is also a full kitchen so you can create your own snacks or meals (email me if you have dietary restrictions that need to be observed – we’ll discuss options). Relaxing seating area for handwork or just visiting with each other. WiFi is also readily available.
Pattern options: Work on Carnival Flower – the newest Quiltworx Technique of the Month Quilt or BE BRAVE and choose my Quiltworx Mystery Mixer (I’ll give you a few colorway options – tell you what you need in the way of fabrics – but you won’t learn what your quilt will look like until you get there!) Mystery Quilt Finishes at 80″ x 80″ and can be easily upsized to a Queen Sized Quilt. Or bring your own pattern(s) to work on. I’ll help you with any Quiltworx pattern – or any pattern for that matter if I can! From Wedding Ring Quilts to those with appliqué to whatever Quiltworx pattern or kit you have lingering on your shelf – I’ll help you get going!
