You Deserve a Great Quilting Retreat!
At Quilting in New England (QNE), our goal is to provide a place for all quilting enthusiasts to join together to share their love of this art. We do this with our Social Networking and through our yearly Quilting Retreats. We began this journey in 2009 and it continues to be a fun adventure!
QNE does not host your standard quilting retreat. Our retreats are not just a place to go to quilt but are a place to experience the joy of quilting. Over the years, we’ve come to appreciate how enriching the interaction of like-minded people can be and a retreat brings together that valuable experience.
Sharing our Love of Quilting
Our retreats are all about sharing – sharing our talents, our knowledge, our enthusiasm, and especially our love of quilting.
- We spend a good deal of time researching, visiting, and planning our retreats.
- We hand-select each venue, after personal visits and many discussions with the host, so that we can provide you with your own creative space, comfortable accommodations, and good food, all at a reasonable cost.
- We also take a tour of the area to see what is available for sites, shopping, and things to do, as this all adds up to a fun, inspiring, and enjoyable retreat experience.
- We offer 3-day and 4-day options, depending on the venue.
- We partner with talented instructors that share our enthusiasm and desire to share their talents.
This year we have added a few more workshop retreats to our line-up and as time goes by, we will be adding more retreats and fun options. We hope you will join us!
What a great way to break free from cabin fever after this cold, icy, snowy winter. This retreat will be an open-sew program where you can spend time working on the projects you choose; meet fellow quilters who will be able to share in the process; relax at a friendly Inn; have some delicious food and have dedicated time to enjoy the art of quilting. Join us for a great quilting weekend in beautiful Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. This Spring quilting retreat will be an open-sew program AND we have lots more in store. We will be offering mini-lectures/demos throughout the event. This will give you the chance to pick up a few tips; spend time working on the projects you choose; meet fellow quilters; relax at a friendly Inn; have some delicious food (you don't need to prepare) and best of all, have dedicated time to enjoy the art of quilting.
Have you always wanted to try free-motion quilting but have been reluctant to do this on your own? Have you taken the first steps in free motion quilting but would like some instruction and help in the process?
We are offering this much-requested workshop featuring instruction for those who want to learn how to free-motion quilt using their domestic sewing machine!
One of our most popular retreats is our Mystery weekend event. This retreat will be a fun-filled time of Mystery and Intrigue. We will feature a brown bag mystery quilt project for our retreaters. Each person will be able to choose a mystery bag (no peeking) which will have a pattern, fabric, batting, and backing for a table runner or table topper. Each will be unique! In addition to this, we will have fun mystery events all weekend including a few prizes for mystery solvers! Fall in New Hampshire is a lovely, ever-changing color pallet that can spark creativity and inspiration. Join us for a great weekend in scenic Waterville Valley, New Hampshire.
