Hosting my first retreat of the fall. We are having a fabulous time. There are 5 quilters, 1 scrapbooker and 2 card makers. For any crafter interested in attending a fall hosted retreat, I have 4 spots left (and 4 8ft table upgrades available) for my September 17-20 hosted retreat. Thursday-Sunday and Friday-Sunday options available. Register online at www.mountainsandmemories.com

Here are some of the meals served.

I had an unexpected cancellation for August 20-23, 2026. One group's loss is another group's gain. Privately rent for your own personal crafting retreat for $1,700 (Thursday-Sunday rental). Wednesday, August 19 can be added for $400. Arrive as early as 9 a.m. on Thursday (or Wednesday if added) and stay as late as 1 p.m. on Sunday. Max 10 guests and 7 cars. Due to the proximity of the reservation dates, the full rental balance would need to be paid by 8/6 (check, charge, Venmo and Zelle accepted).
