Description
Quilting by the Bay welcomes you to a special retreat week. Set up your machine in a comfortably large, air-conditioned room full of happy quilters. Bring your unfinished work and get informal and formal input as you need it. Or start a new project and enjoy plenty of time and space to work. This year we celebrate the 20th year of our conference – so there may be some surprises! Many of us are returning after multiple years of sewing near our view of Saco Bay, and we welcome newcomers enthusiastically.
You will have a table of your own to spread out your work, nearby irons and boards, a design wall if you need it, and access to a raised cutting table for managing larger pieces of yardage. If distractions of beautiful fabric make you want to leave your machine and go shopping, we are usually interested in those expeditions, too. And don’t forget the friendships and conviviality of like-minded sewists doing what they love the most.
We have a Show and Tell night (bring completed quilts and projects you’ve done) and a “Skills and Tools Night” (brief introductions to new techniques and supplies). Your workspace is available 24/7; our conference hours are 9-12 am and 7-9 pm with afternoons free to enjoy the ocean.
All conferees need competence with their machines and to have completed a beginner course before enrolling. (Finishing work—layering, basting, machine quilting—will be available if space allows toward the end of the week.) A detailed supply list will be sent to all registrants in early July.
