Coast Hotel Kamloops
Non-residential Retreat (
various options available)

 

August 13th - 18th, 2026
Coast Hotel, Kamloops

By popular demand, experienced Quiltworx instructor Anne Hall has a new venue, and will be teaching at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre in Kamloops.  For more experienced quilters with some prior Quiltworx knowledge, Anne will be offering to teach Luminary, a brand new pattern from Quiltworx over 4 days on 13th-16th August.  If space permits, they may be some space for some UFOs.  For total beginners to Quiltworx, Anne will offer a 2 day class to make the very versatile Desert Sky lap quilt.  Don't want a quilt?  You can rearrange your blocks to make a table runner and place mats.  You want it bigger?  No problem!  We can get more papers!  This introduction will include preparation of papers and fabrics, and several of the basic Quiltworx techniques.

Mystery / Open Residential Retreat

July 15th - 20th, 2026
Honeymoon Bay, Vancouver Island

It's that time of the year again, when you can come to Honeymoon Bay and work on either the Mystery project, or bring your own project.  Come and join us at the beautiful Honeymoon Bay for 5 1/2 days of sewing.  Anne Hall is an experienced Quiltworx instructor of over 10 years.  For the mystery, a basic knowledge of foundation paper piecing may be beneficial, but I have had CONFIDENT beginners tackle this mystery successfully - because all the prep is done for you!  Anne will ask you a few key questions about your choice of colours, and then create a custom, unique kit in your choice of colours from her beautiful collection of over 400 batiks - you just don't get to see exactly what it looks like until the "reveal" on around day 3 of the retreat!

Vintage Rose Technique of the Month
Residential Retreat

April 25th - May 1st, 2026
Honeymoon Bay, Vancouver Island

This is an old favourite - the Vintage Rose Technique of the Month, published by Quiltworx some years ago.  It deserves to be resurrected in the intervening years between the new Technique quilts!  Come and join us at the beautiful Honeymoon Bay for 6 1/2 days of sewing.  Anne Hall is an experienced Quiltworx instructor of over 10 years.  You need to have SOME experience of making Quiltworx patterns for this project, as you will have to be fully prepped before you come.  If you need a kit, Anne will work with you beforehand to create a custom, unique kit in your choice of colours from her beautiful collection of over 400 batiks.  If you are a complete beginner to Quiltworx pattern, Anne will offer a small project for total beginners.  You will also have time to work on a project of your own.
