Join your hostesses Teresa & Julie in gorgeous Colorado for a fun-filled long weekend!  Deluxe accommodations, gourmet dining, and wonderful quilt projects.   Our first annual retreat was held in September 2007, and the tradition begins!  Sign up today for our 2nd annual quilting retreat that you won't want to miss!  Sure to be a truly pleasant mix of quilting, learning, friendship and fun!  This is the perfect opportunity for you to gather with old friends, or plan on making new.   The first retreat was so much fun, that everyone signed up to return in 2008.  But, don't fret - there is still room for just a few more.   Don't forget to ask all of the important quilters in your life - your mother, sister, aunt or friend - if they would like to join you!

WHEN...Wednesday, September 3 to Sunday, September 7 - Check in at 3:00 pm on Wednesday, and checkout at 11:00pm on Sunday following the included Sunday Brunch.

WHERE...The Inn at Palmer Divide* located in the foothills of the Rockies, just 50 miles south of Downtown Denver, and 25 miles north of Colorado Springs Airport. 

LODGING... Stay in lovely, deluxe, and spacious rooms, each uniquely decorated in Colorado Casual Elegance, with all of the amenities such as private bath, phone, television and free wireless internet.  The Inn at Palmer Divide also has a massage and exercise facility and there are elevators for your convenience.  

GOURMET DINING... The MoZaic Restaurant, located at The Inn, will meet our dining needs - Full Breakfasts and Brunches, Dinners, early morning and afternoon Snacks and more.  Drinks (iced-tea, coffee & water and wine with dinner) and gratuities are included in your rate.  

QUILTING... Donna and Cathy, two of the sweetest gals you will ever meet, are from Bittersweet Blessings  - and they will again do our Mystery Quilt project!   I think you might feel our draw to them -it is wonderful that they have agreed to come back to this retreat - you will fall in love with them, too!   And this time, the mystery quilt pieces will be pre-cut -- so you can enjoy even more quilting pleasure time!

In addition to the Mystery Quilt, we have also lined up surprise visit from a well-loved 'mystery' designer who will guide us through another special take away project - and the materials for all of these projects is included in your package price!

Of course, no quilt retreat is complete without a bit of fun  -- special drawings and games will add to the festivity.   When you receive your packet, you will see that we have a special 'theme' planned - and the fun will just go from there.   Plus, we have a special gift bag for each attendee, and, for those who are interested, there will be several fun group activities including an auction,  scavenger hunt, block swap, show and tell, and maybe even a look at the Homespun Hearth operations.

CHALLENGE QUILT... 'Challenge Quilt with a Twist' -- we will have special instructions coming in mid-April...

FRESH AIR... For you hikers, the Inn is within walking distance of the Historic Santa Fe Trail and Mt. Herman in Pike National Forest.   Most of all, everyone can view the spectacular mountains, maybe even catch a glimpse of the wild life,  breathe in the freshest air and enjoy the spectacular blue skies and wildlife of Colorado while you stitch! 


SEWING MACHINES... Bring your own.  Sorry...no rentals will be available.  But, we have found that today's machine carry bags make traveling by air or car a snap.  Of course, if you bring your special someone with you*, you can have him carry your machine.  Tell him he can bring his clubs and hit the greens.

GETTING HERE... The closest airport is Colorado Springs.   The cost for transportation to and from the airport is approx $30 per taxi trip.     If you decide to fly in/out of Denver International Airport,  the Taxi service is approx $150 each way (prices may vary).

WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?... One thing we can say about Colorado, is if you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes because it will change.  We recommend casual clothes, comfy shoes, and a light sweater and jacket -- after all, we are at 7,500 ft elevation, so it can get very nippy in the evenings.  September is generally mid-70s for the daytime, and mid-40s for the nights.
