If you who have sewing projects, quilts, scrapbooks or, if you are really planning ahead, and want to work on your Christmas cards, consider participating in Drift Creek's Fall Quilt, Craft & Scrapbook Retreat, September 15-18, 2011. The retreat offers an opportunity to set aside time to get into a creative groove without the distraction of life's daily demands. DCC provides work space, tasty meals and coffee delights while you bring your supplies and creativity!
Meanwhile there will be friends, old and new, to connect with and learn from.
The retreat is not limited to folks working on quilts, the idea is to bring along whatever type of project you might have....whether it's a comforter, embroidery, knitting, encaustic painting, paper marbling, recording your family's meaningful memories or even writing in your journal, all are welcome to enjoy this chance to dedicate time and space while camp takes care of the details. We will have plenty of space for sewing machines as well as comfy chairs in front of the fire..... Opportunities will be given for participants to take an elective bookbinding class if you're looking for a special journal to use for yourself or perhaps as a gift for the writer or artist in your life. If folks are interested in learning how to quilt, a beginner's class will be available from Louise Gingerich. The hope is that the weekend will give busy women a reason to slow down, enjoy the beauty of God's creation, connect with others in Christian community, and maybe even cross a project off their list of things to do!
If you are interested in improving your photography skills, let us know! We are exploring options to invite a local photographer who may be available to teach!
