SAQA CT IS HOLDING A RETREAT

The SAQA CT region is holding a retreat the weekend of November 2-4 at the Incarnation Center in Ivoryton CT.

Ivoryton is in coastal CT, just over an hour away from Providence, RI and Hartford, CT.

They have room for up to ten more people, and welcome the SAQA members from Rhode Island and Massachusetts to join them. They look forward to getting to know their SAQA neighbors in a relaxed and fun environment!

They are planning on offering some break-out sessions for talent sharing in free motion quilting, writing an artist statement, and critique sessions to name just a few, for those interested. In addition, attendees may work on their own projects, and take time to explore the hiking trails around the center.  Everyone can make the retreat what they want it to be in terms of "down time" and "quilting time!"
