Fees and What They Include: The Registration fee for this event is $275.00 per person and includes access to the stitching room 24/7, a meal, a goodie bag and lots of door prizes, and maybe a surprise along the way. The meeting room will be open to crafters at 9am on Friday, 10/02/26, and will be available until 3pm on Sunday, 10/04/26.
Showcases and Vendors: We are reaching out to several vendors and designers and will keep you updated. Please check back. Needlework by Jim are confirmed vendors. We will update as vendors are added.
Activities: While our primary objective is to provide you with a pleasant, uninterrupted and unstructured stitching event (with stash enhancement sessions of course), we think a Grab Bag Exchange on Saturday night would be a fun way to spend our last evening together. Please check back for sign-up information and general information.
But wait! There’s more…
• There will also be a trade table. At the end of the retreat, please take back your items that have not been traded.
• We will also have a time scheduled for bragging rights… so remember to bring one or two of your prize pieces that you would like to have showcased for all to see.
• And don’t forget about all that Hershey, PA has to offer
