Gwen's 25th Annual Beaver Island Quilt Retreat
will be held at the charming 100 year old White Birch Lodge in Elk Rapids, Michigan.
The Lodge is nestled in the woods on the shore of one of the most beautiful
bodies of water in the Grand Traverse region. Elk Rapids is a charming northern
Michigan small town with good restaurants and fun shopping, and the resort
towns nearby offer more of the same.
Sewing machine and basic sewing kit. Rotary cutter, mat and your favorite rulers.
Fabrics: You can work with
predominantly lights, or mid-tones or darks. You can work with bright colors or
dull colors. Regardless of your predominant tone, include some accent colors so
tuck in some lights, darks, and mid-tones. If you have trouble finding solids,
remember they are easy to fine on-line.
Fabric
Amount: We should be able to complete a quilt approximately 50" X 65"
so bring about 4 yards total. This can include scraps, fat quarters, half yard
pieces for the body of the quilt.
What to Bring: Dress is casual. Bring a sweater in case it is cool.
Flashlights are good to have. Bring a quilt for Wednesday night show and tell. This Year's Subject: Making Great Quilts with Solids
