Twice a year the Guild organizes a weekend retreat. It’s a great way to
get to know people in the Guild, and we have lots of fun sewing,
learning, talking, and sometimes even sleeping. The 2024 Fall Retreat
will be held at the Bongiorno Conference Center (BCC) in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania. Arrival is at 11 A.M. on Thursday, September 26th, with a
Sunday departure of 3 P.M., September 29th. Eight meals will be provided
by the Center and there will be no food preparation in the workroom. All
rooms have complete bathrooms, and linens are furnished. There is
free Wi-Fi.
Membership in the Guild is required for attendance. Your registration fee is non-refundable, however, I anticipate a waiting list, and vacancies will be filled from that list in order of signup. This retreat is limited to 23 people. If you find yourself unable to attend after you have registered, and your spot can be filled by someone on the waiting list, your money will be refunded.
Registration is now sold out.
To get onto the waiting list, please email the marvelous Kathy Fader at
