27th Annual Beaver Island Quilt Retreat: 2010
Gwen's 27th Annual Beaver Island Quilt Retreat will be held at the charming 100 year
old White Birch Lodge. The Lodge is nestled in the woods right on the shores of
Elk Lake, in the heart of the Northern Michigan resort area. Elk Rapids is a
charming small town with good restaurants, fun shopping with nearby resort
towns offering more of the same.
This Year's Subject: A Fresh Look at Liberated Quiltmaking.
19 years have passed since I introduced the idea of Liberated quiltmaking at our retreat so it's time to take another look. It's been 15 years since my book Liberated Quiltmaking with AQS was published and this year comes Liberated Quiltmaking II, again with AQS. It's safe to say that "liberated" techniques has caught on and flourished in the quilt world! It's time to return to the birthplace of Liberated Quiltmaking: the famous Beaver Island Quilt Retreat!!! Do join us!
Materials List:
Sewing machine and basic sewing kit. Rotary cutter,
mat and your favorite quilter's rulers. A portable light to sew by if room
lighting isn't sufficient.
Fabrics:
Bring fabrics you enjoy using. Take a look at the quilts in my new Liberated book for ideas about fabrics.

Dress is casual. Bring a sweater, a flashlight, and a
quilt for show and tell on Wednesday night.
