Emerald Mountain Lodge - 2016 Retreat Venue

Emerald Mountain Lodge - YMCA of the Rockies



The 2016 Estes Valley Quilt Guild Retreat is scheduled for February 25-28 at Emerald Mountain Lodge at YMCA of the Rockies. Over forty EVQG members have registered as participants in this annual event. The theme this year is "Just Sew!"  and we plan to devote plenty of time to that. But we'll also make time for delicious meals, games, massages, gifts, snacks, classes and more. Here are the most common comments on past retreat evaluations when asked what participants liked most:

• Spending time with friends
• Making new friends
• Time to sew
• Seeing others' great projects

 

 

I'll post more information and photos in the days leading up to the retreat. Check back often.
