Quilting provides a great social opportunity. Quilters love to get together and share projects, ideas, tips and tools. Quilting retreats offer great ways to gather and see new places.

They have large tables for laying out quilts, cutting mats, a stereo system, and TV with DVD. Their sincerest wish is to make you comfortable and relaxed while you enjoy sharing your passion and pastime.

The Mason House Inn in Iowa is another great place where quilters can gather. Joy is a member of the staff who taught quilting at JoAnn Fabrics, and she is available for help, so if you have someone who is just starting out, this might be a good place to have a retreat. They also have a HQ 16 quilting machine available to rent.
