Featherweight
Club Retreat/Workshop Information and Availability
The FW retreat/workshops are all about getting to know your featherweight better and just having a total blast because that's what we do. A few ladies just bring their featherweights and sew the whole time. But, if there's something you want to learn about your machine this is the place to learn it.
There are a couple of requirements to attend these retreats. You must be up to date on your covid vaccinations and you must have taken the FW Maintenance class from Jean or convince her you know what you're doing for maintenance. You can bring as many FWs as you'd like but plan to work on one machine for taking it all apart and putting it back together. There is only one Jean and she needs to help everyone with their FWs.
The FW Retreat/Workshops are held at the Fields House owned by the Riverside Retreats LLC in Marshall, Michigan. Go to http://www.scrapbookriverside.com/ to see more pictures of the house where we will be retreating.
Participants are asked to do one part of one meal during the retreat. Any further information questions can be sent to Jean.
The dates have been set for the 2025 retreat/workshops.
The early March retreat/workshop will be March 12-16, 2025 at the Fields House. Email me to get on the waiting list.
The later March retreat/workshop will be March 19-23, 2025 at the Fields House. Email me to get on the waiting list.
The early August retreat/workshop will be August 6-10, 2025 at the Fields House. Email me to get on the waiting list.
The later August retreat/workshop will be August 13-17, 2025 at the Fields House. Email me to get on the waiting list.
Once the March or August retreats are completed information sheets are sent out to those signed up for the next retreat/workshops and those on the waiting list as well so you are all up to date on what's going on.
People tell me it's hard to get into these learning retreats but I always have people drop out for one reason or another as the dates get closer. People that are on the waiting lists often get to come and join in on all the fun. So, get your name on the waiting list even when it says the retreat is full. You don't want to miss the chance to be added to the group for one heck of a good time!
Send me an email if you have any questions. jdquilts123@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteWhat is the cost of the featherweight reteat?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry but the March retreats have had to be cancelled due to the corona virus. Hopefully, the August retreats will still be happening. The cost of that retreat is $180 for Friday till Sunday and for an additional $20 you can come on Thursday and enjoy that day as well. As things get closer, I'll be sure and post more information. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteBest retreat ever. Had so much fun. Met so many new friends. Such a great time. Thank you 💖
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed the retreat, Kathy. I always have a great time as well and I always look forward to the next one. Thanks for your comment.
