Details about Summer Retreat 2026:
It’s that time of year again, time for Summer Retreat!!! This will be our 19th Annual Summer Retreat AND our 10th Annual retreat at our own facility!!! Whoo-hoo!! That ten years went by fast!!! This year we will be using a pattern of my own that I have chosen to call Summer 9-Patch in honor of our 10th retreat at our facility.
I have not yet quilted my sample, but the picture is the completed top. We will all be using the same layer cake, you will have the option to select your background fabric and border once you arrive. The quilt is made made using most of one layer cake and yardage for backgroundand borders. A special trim tool will be needed and is included in the cost of the retreat. Your general sewing essentials will be all you need and if you have a spinning mat and a square up ruler large enough for an 8-1/2″ block, you will want to toss that in as well. I feel like everyone will be able to complete the quilt during the weekend so you may wish to bring an extra project or two OR you an shop for an extra project! This quilt finishes at 64 x 77 and if you want to make it larger, you can always add an additional border or two!
I would rate this somewhere between beginner and intermediate on a skill level and I would encourage you to bring an extra project to work on, I feel like everyone will be able to finish before the weekend is over!
This year’s retreat will again be held at the Quilt With A Heart retreat center in Priddy, Texas, which, is located in between somewhere and nowhere in the center of Texas! We are centrally located in this great big state and are approximately 2 hours from anywhere significant in any direction you go, i.e., 2 hours to Austin, Ft.Worth, Waco, San Angelo, Abilene, Fredericksburg, you get the picture!
The cost of the retreat is $300.00. This fee covers the cost of the two night stay, the quilt kit, pattern and meals. Friday night will be pulled pork sandwiches along with sides and a dessert the other meals will be whatever I decide later, but there will be plenty to eat! Bring your own snacks and favorite drinks, coffee and tea will be provided. If you would like to come a day early to get set up, you can come on Thursday afternoon for an additional $40.00 fee.
You will be on your own for the Thursday evening meal (if you choose to come early) and Friday lunch.
We will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Friday the 28th and will conclude the weekend at 11:00 am on Sunday the 30th. As always, there will be prizes throughout the weekend and we will play the fat quarter game and have show and tell on Saturday evening AND I will have a couple of new games that are super fun!!! If you have never been to one of our Summer Retreats, it is truly a treat and a weekend full of fun!!!
