Sunset Beach Tote
Oct 7 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Orientation Sat Sept 30th 10:00-11:00

Class Sat Oct 7th 9:30-4:00

The Sunset Beach Tote is the first in the Beginner Basics Collection. The pattern calls for outdoor canvas for both the exterior and interior, along with Peltex fusible stabilizer and fusible fleece.

As always, we encourage the testers to get creative with the pattern. It’s important to show versatility in how it’s used. So while my intent is for a sturdy bag made from cotton fabrics and very little hardware for beginning bagmakers, the testers have used a variety of materials. They generously shared all the details to inspire you to make your own Sunset Beach Tote.

Gardom Lake Retreat (Fall)
Oct 12 – Oct 15 all-day

Imagine 4 days and 3 nights of uninterrupted sewing, quilting and being with a really fun group of ladies! Your food is made for you, and you’re surrounded by other crafty people, this retreat always fills so out your deposit down soon. Retreat Starts at 10:00 on Thursday and ends at 3:00 on Sunday

Thread & Paper Quilt Retreats

The Thread & paper Fall 2023 retreat will be happening Oct 12-15th, 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.

We are counting on having a large group, and because Gardom Lake has expanded their kitchen, bathrooms and other common areas they are able to accommodate more people.  More people, more fun, more jokes, more inspiration! 

We will have some people quilting upstairs and some downstairs, and there will be some people in cabins and some in the lodge. The cabins are lovely and they have their own bathrooms so there really is no advantage or disadvantage to where you sleep or sew. 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. 

There will be no private rooms available because the retreat will be full.

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
