Thread & Paper Quilt Retreats
The Thread & paper Fall 2024 retreat will be happening Oct 3-6th 2025, 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.
The price is price $400 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

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.

Electronic Sewing Machine Service $130
Serger Service $130
Embroidery Machine Service $160

Granny squares are SO POPULAR right now and so FUN and addicting to make, they can be put together to make blankets, bags, sweaters and more!
This class teaches right handed crochet only.
