Virtual Guild Retreat

Join us at this year’s virtual retreat! The first two days of the retreat will take place on Zoom – so plan to spend a couple of days sewing at home, while sharing the time with fellow guild members. The final day’s agenda is lunch together for retreat participants at the Seaside Shanty at noon.
Sound like fun? Plan to join in, all for the low cost of $10 that will contribute to prize draws throughout the retreat. Stay tuned for more details.
