Register now for Camp Horseshoe spring quilt retreat

Quilt

ST. GEORGE – Spring is here and it is time to make plans to attend Camp Horseshoe’s Spring Quilt Retreat near St. George in Tucker County, WV – May 10–14, 2022. 

It will be the perfect place to spend quality time with your sewing machine and quilting friends both new and old.  Come enjoy Horseshoe’s relaxed atmosphere, take advantage of this time to start a new project or catch up on those projects you have started and just haven’t found time to complete.

“Quilters will have an opportunity to catch up on UFO’s or choose a new project as follows:  Mug Bucket Organizer, Deb Davis, (Victor, WV); Quilts – Midnight Lights and Fresh Tradition, Mary Smith, (St. George, WV); Chicken Pin Cushion, Beverly Walkup, (Victor, WV); and our Mystery Project, Kathy Miller, (Parsons, WV).  There will be Demos by experienced quilters during the quilting event and some surprises along the way,” said Mary Smith, facilitator.

While at the retreat there are no chores, meals to cook or phones to answer.  Join us for a great learning experience.  You will be completely spoiled as we sew, eat and sleep.  The fellowship and friendships formed will last a lifetime and you can take home a finished keepsake.

Come join in!  For a brochure contact Mary Smith at 304-478-2899 for all the information & color photos of classes offered or contact us by e-mail at horseshoe@yla-youthleaderhip.org.

Registration Deadline:  Friday, April 22, 2022
