2025 Guild Retreat

It’s that time!  Starting October 1, 2024, you can sign up for the 2025 Retreat, which will be held at the Aldersgate Conference Center in Turner, Oregon.  The dates for the retreat are April 22 – 25, 2025.

Really good news: The lighting has been upgraded, and the auditorium where we sew is much, much brighter.

The cost for a room, nine meals, and all the fun is $360 per person.  RV spaces with full hookups are $190 and include all the meals and fun.  If you choose the RV option, it is still $190 per person.

We will take in-person sign-ups at the October, November, January, and February meetings.  A $50 deposit will hold your place; you must be paid in full by the February 2025 Guild meeting.

The Guild website has the updated information and a fillable registration form (at the top of the Retreat page).  A completed registration form is required with your deposit.  If you are unable to print the form from the website, we will have paper copies at the meetings.  If you mail in your form and deposit, please send it to:  Viki West, PO Box 349, Yachats OR 97498.  When you fill out your form, please indicate any dietary needs and whether you want to participate in the Jewel Tone 2-1/2” Strip Exchange.

The 2025 Retreat is also offering a challenge: When you sign up, if you want to participate, you will get a piece of fabric to use in anything you want to make.  You can add as many other fabrics as you want, and your item does not have to be a quilt or quilted.  The only requirements are that the fabric we give you has to be visible and the item needs to be completed when you arrive at the retreat.  If you are sending your registration in the mail and want to participate in the challenge, we will mail you the fabric.

Any questions, please email Viki West at bogie07@comcast.net.
