It is time to for special people we call quilters to gather once again and attend a Homespun Hearth Retreat - this time it's The Quilting on the Edge of the Rockies ~ A Quiltworx Affair! You are invited to join us for our 2nd Quiltworx Affair, this time at the spectacular Wine Country Inn in Palisade Colorado. The Quiltworx Affair is is open to all levels of paper piecers - from the most savvy and experienced to those of you who are new to paper pieceing and would just love to learn the techniques and stream-lined process that Judy Niemeyer has perfected.
Sure to be a truly pleasant mix of quilting,
learning, friendship and fun - you will certainly come
away with memories to last a lifetime, and a quilt that will be treasured for generations to come. This
is the perfect opportunity for you to gather with old friends, or plan
on making new. Plus, don't forget to ask all of the
important quilters in your life - your mother, sister, aunt or friend -
if they would like to join you!

WHEN...MARCH 17 - 23, 2024
The Quiltworx Affair will actually begin on the morning of Monday March 18, 2024 and will commence on Friday evening, March 22, 2024 - but we recommend you arrive and check in to your lodging on Sunday March 17, 2024 (at the latest), and stay the last night of the retreat. Check in at the lodge is 4:00 pm and checkout at 11:00am . We will be allowed into the event center early on Monday morning, March 18, 2024. However, for all who are interested, we will have a meet & greet at a local restaurant on the evening of March 17 - pricing TBD. We will also have details on an optional gift exchange as well, and a couple of other things to come for those who register.
WHERE...The Wine Country Inn, Palisade Colorado
Located in the heart of Colorado's wine country on the west-edge of the Rockies, and sitting amidst 21 acres of vineyards, the Wine Country Inn offers guests a beautiful quilting experience. The beauty and ambiance will leave a lasting impression on your heart, for sure. And, if you are so inclined, there are also lots of wine-tasting opportunities. This is a wonderful destination, and it often sells out. Blocked rooms for the Quiltworx Affair are limited, so please don't wait to register. Note - The Wine Country Inn is a Smoke-Free property.
LODGING...AT THE WINE COUNTRY INN, PALISADE, COLORADO
You will need to make your own lodging reservations at The Wine Country Inn. The Inn has blocked rooms for us at a rate of $135 per Room per night, plus applicable taxes, for either a King room (sleeps 2) or two Queen beds in a room. The King room can sleep 3 people, and the Queen Rooms can sleep up to 4 people. This gives you flexibility to perhaps come early for a day or two, bring a friend who does not quilt (ie a husband), or come together with up to 4 of you per room (to save on costs as this works out to as little as $42.20 per person per night - and that includes taxes). We recommend that you arrive on Sunday 3/17 at the latest, and depart on Saturday, March 23, 2024. You may also choose to lodge elsewhere - please know that if you do this, that breakfast will be your responsibility, but all of the other things that are included for those staying at The Inn will also apply to you.
QUILTING... This retreat includes a Wall-Size Quilt Kit AND Pattern for the new Carnival Flower Technique of the Month - you will be given several colorway options as we want everyone to be delighted with their quilt. You will also have the option to enlarge your quilt to either a Queen or King Size Quilt, add backing, and, if you just want to sew, sew, sew, we also have a Retreat Kit Cutting Service! If you elect to cut your own quilt, you will receive your fabrics about 2 months prior to the retreat so that you can come prepared, with your kit all cut and ready to go. If you are new to Judy Niemeyer's paper-piecing and fabric cutting techniques, no problem - just let us know. We will give you a little extra 'homework' that you can do before you receive your fabrics so that you will get some familiarity and confidence. Also, while we will be featuring and teaching the Carnival Flower design, please let us know if there is a different Quiltworx design that you would prefer to do during the retreat, and we can work something out.
Of course, no quilt retreat is complete without a
bit of fun -- special drawings, great prizes, and fun games
will add to the festivity of our time together. .
EARLY BIRD ... This is an option for those of you early birds who just want more, more, more! Each morning from 6am to 8am we will gather for a special surprise project. The cost is $120 for this option.
ADDITIONAL AMENITIES.. There is a jacuzzi at The Inn -- it will be a nice way to end the day, so bring your swim suit. There is also a Gift Shop, Fitness Center, Free WiFi, and a Laundry Center.
SUPPLY LIST... We will provide you a supply list so that you can check-it-twice.
We also have a Quiltworx Favorites Supplies List, which you can find here.
SEWING MACHINES... We do not have machines to rent. Please be sure to get your machine serviced before the retreat ... and don't forget to bring all of the parts!
GETTING THERE... The closest
airport is the Grand Junction Regional airport - 12 miles from The Wine Country Inn. At the time of the write-up, there are car rental services and Uber available from the airport.
FRESH AIR... Everyone can view the spectacular mountains on the edge of the Rockies, maybe even catch a glimpse of the wild life, breathe in the freshest air and enjoy the spectacular blue skies and relaxing way of life here in Colorado while you stitch! You will find time early in the morning to take a refreshing walk. For those of you who really want to get a taste of Colorado, we recommend arriving or departing a day or two after the retreat. Again, you are responsible for your lodging, and we will provide you the informaiton of The Wine Country Inn
WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?... One thing that is true through Colorado is that if you don't like the weather, just
wait 5 minutes because it will change. We recommend casual
clothes, comfy shoes, and a light sweater for indoors, and warm clothes, boots, and gloves for anytime you are outside. The average temperatures in Palisade for March is in the mid-50s. This event is also in March, so there is a chance that we could have a snow storm. We will be arriving a day early on Saturday 3/16 (just in case), and so that is something you may want to consider as well.
