Here is the long-awaited schedule of next year's retreats I'm hosting here in Harpswell, Maine. There's one for each of the winter, spring, and summer seasons. Each retreat will be held at the Harpswell Inn, an iconic Maine bed & breakfast.
All retreats will be a maximum of 15 students, minimum of 10. Please contact me if you're interested--and certainly before booking any flights.

2012 Fuzzy Slippers Winter Quilt Retreat
February 13-17
Ever wonder what a Maine winter is like? Well, come see for yourself! Enjoy Valentine's week playing with fabric, eating yummy food, hibernating, or lounging around a big ol' fireplace at a coastal B&B--you'll never need to take off the fuzzy slippers! Bring a sweet-heart to share your room--or just treat yourself. This 5-day class allows you to delve into fabric collage with any subject you'd like, with Susan's guidance along the way. Read the class description for Fabric Images on Susan's website.

2012 Mother's Day Weekend Quilt Retreat

2012 Maine Lobstah Summertime Quilt Retreat
August 18-22, Saturday Evening thru Wednesday afternoon
Kick off four days of dabbling in fabric and color with a lobster dinner served outdoors under a tent (by the lobstermen themselves!) on a scenic Maine seashore. After the Saturday night lobster bake, the following four days will allow students to either complete a simpler project or to get a good start on a more ambitious project. Plus, there is never a lack of things to do in Maine in the summertime--you may want to schedule an extra day or more for sightseeing on either side of the class!
