Winter 2025 Retreat
The Thread & paper Winter 2025 retreat will be happening at Gardom Lake. We are so excited to be back sewing with all of our friends. Please find our Facebook page “Thread & Paper Quilt Retreats” so please join us there if you are on Facebook.
You can arrive Thursday any time after 10am, your retreat fee includes dinner on Thursday, breakfast, lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. We would like to have everyone cleared out by 3:00 on Sunday afternoon.
We will now have one price $400 (no early or late price) When you put your $50 non-refundable deposit down, it is non-refundable, not for cash, not for store credit, or anything else. This holds your spot in the retreat and comes off the final price. We would like to have everyone pay the remainder of their balance one month before the retreat.
In the winter everyone sews upstairs and everyone stays in the lodge as the cabins are too cold. Becasue of this we can only have 30 participants.
The food is delicious and the company is great, everyone who is out there is there to have a good time with a positive attitude.
Please make sure we have a current email address for you, as this is how we send out our reminders and supply lists just before the retreat.
please call or email with any questions info@threadandpaper.com

EVERY Wednesday Machines will be serviced (and scissors sharpened) IN the store. What this means is you could wait as little as one day. Machines can still be dropped off or picked up anytime during our open hours.
You do not need an appointment, just bring your machine in any time. The best plan would be to drop off before 11 am on Wednesday (or Monday or Tuesday is even better)
Plan to pick your machine up LATE on Wednesday – You will get a call as soon as your machine is ready to go.
