Calendar of Upcoming MBQG Events
2026 MBQG Quilt Retreat (In-Person)
The 2026 Guild Retreat is booked for May 22-May 24. We will be gathering at the Best Western Plus in Liverpool Nova Scotia in the same space as last year.
Registration has been filled, capped at 30 attendees but are taking a wait list (please email Annette at aandbf@eastlink.ca if you wish to be added to list). Last year everyone on the wait list was offered to attend because of members who had to cancel.
The cost of the retreat will hopefully be no more than $50 for the whole weekend. The only way it would be more is if there is low attendance so, PLEASE do not send payment to me until the price is set. I will send another email to registered members with payment details once I see how
registration is progressing. Registration money pays for the conference room and to provide door prizes for attendees.
You are responsible for booking and managing your own room at the hotel. If you think you are going to stay, PLEASE book your room early. The block of rooms will be held until one month before the event and then will be opened to the public. We also have a special group rate of 134.00 plus tax per night. To get this rate you must call the hotel directly at 902-354-2377 and ask for the Mahone Bay Quilters Guild Retreat rate. The event rate is good for Friday and Saturday night, May 22 and 23rd. Buffet breakfast is included for guests who are staying overnight. Everyone is responsible for their own meals.
This retreat is for independent sew time with no classes offered. If anyone wants to offer demos or skills let me know and I will include it in the retreat updates.
We do have a vendor booked to come for the entire retreat. The Wooden Spool from Granville Ferry has agreed to come down and will bring requests if you
contact Donna. Use her personal cell # 1-902-532-8592 or you can reach the shop by messenger to request something be brought down. If you request something you do not have to purchase it UNLESS it is something that had to be cut from a bolt especially to fill an order.
That’s it for now. There will be more updates once additional details are finalized.
