# Event Details - **Event Name**: Quilting by the Bay - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 28 Aug, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Fri, 04 Sep, 2026 at 01:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Join us for a week of quilting by the ocean! Quilting by the Bay welcomes you to a special week of convivial sewing. Set up your machine in a comfortably large air-conditioned room. Bring your unfinished work and get input as you need it. Or start a new project and enjoy plenty of time and space to work. Many quilters return year after year for this quilting extravaganza – and each year we welcome several newcomers to our Opening Circle with enthusiasm for their participation and their individual projects. You will have a table of your own to spread out your work, nearby irons and boards, a design wall if you need it, and access to a cutting table for managing larger pieces of yardage. If distractions of beautiful fabric make you want to leave your machine and go shopping, we are usually interested in those expeditions, too. And don’t forget the friendships and conviviality of like-minded sewists doing what they love the most. Plus daily meals are included (prepared by our onsite chefs)! A wide variety of lodging from cottages, to dorms and camping is available! You'll enjoy quilting sessions in the morning and afternoons, with occasional optional project class and evening activities. During the week there is a quilting show and tell, a lobster dinner night and more! This is a quilting retreat of a lifetime! Come join us! Our location: Ferry Beach Retreat & Conference Center is located on 32 acres of beachfront property in Southern Maine (Saco). Enjoy direct beach access, the nearby state park and plenty of nature. If you need to go into town- it's only a 10 minute drive away. Our property features many wide open porches with rocking chairs, plenty of meeting spaces, a full dining center, playgrounds, courts, a campground, chapel area and more!
