BOO-TIQUE SEWING DAY!
THE 2026 QuiltFest Boutique Committee invites you to a fun sewing day on Tuesday, October 14th from 9:00 to 4:00 to help us sew some spooky items to sell in our QuiltFest Boutique. All materials will be provided but bring your sewing machine, black thread (and orange thread if you have it), scissors, straight pins, seam ripper, plastic binding clips (if you have them) a travel iron and an ironing pad will be helpful but there will also be ironing stations to share. We will be sewing the kitchen towels and Halloween bunting shown in the photos! You may wish to bring a second project as the two planned projects may not take all day if enough people sign up.
The cost of the event is $20 which covers our cost of the supplies and the room rental fee.
Bring a sack lunch and your own drinks. There is a refrigerator and microwave at the retreat facility.
