Quilting by the Bay welcomes you to a special week of convivial sewing. Set up your machine in a comfortably large air-conditioned room. Bring your unfinished work and get input as you need it. Or start a new project and enjoy plenty of time and space to work. Many quilters return year after year for this quilting extravaganza – and each year we welcome several newcomers to our Opening Circle with enthusiasm for their participation and their individual projects. 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 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.

All conferees need competence with their machines and to have completed a beginner course before enrolling or be considered a confident beginner since basic instruction isn't available during this week. Voluntary projects are offered during the week. A detailed supply list will be sent to all registrants in early July. Finishing work which requires space, such as layering and basting quilts, will be available if space allows.
Enjoy delicious daily meals prepared by Ferry Beach Chef in the dining hall and of course beach time if you need a break from sewing. New to Ferry Beach and interested in a glimpse of what this retreat looks like day-to-day? Take a look at last year's schedule here. |
Ferry Beach is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year (2026). Join us for an incredible year of celebration!
