🍂🧵 Join Us This October!

Life gets busy. Sometimes you just need to step away from the to-do list, bring your sewing machine, and spend a few days doing something you love.

Join us for the 2nd Annual Mindful Quilting Retreat!

📅 October 23–25, 2026
📍 Silver Creek Events | Madison, South Dakota

Spend the weekend sewing, learning, shopping, laughing, and connecting with fellow quilters. Enjoy expert-led classes, a vendor mall, delicious meals, social time, and plenty of uninterrupted time at your machine.

Come for the quilting. Stay for the friendships. Leave feeling inspired and recharged.

Your sewing machine deserves a getaway. And so do you.

We’d love to have you join us this October!

Why Every Quilter Needs a Retreat 🧵

Have you ever wished you could just step away from the to-do list, bring your sewing machine, and spend an entire weekend doing what you love?

We just published a new blog about why every quilter needs a retreat and why getting away to sew is about so much more than finishing a project.

It’s about uninterrupted creative time, learning something new, making friends, finding inspiration, and giving yourself permission to slow down.

And if you're ready for your own quilting getaway, our 2nd Annual Mindful Quilting Retreat is coming up October 23–25 in Madison, South Dakota.

Read the blog, then start planning your getaway!

Life has a way of filling every hour of the day. Between work, family, errands, and endless to-do lists, it's easy for the projects we love to find their way to the bottom of the pile. That's why we created the Mindful Quilting Retreat. More than just a quilting event, this retreat is an opportunity...
