Emma's 2023 Fall Quilting Retreat - November 11-14, 2023

For the past 16 years, we have been hosting a quilting retreat at the Resort & Conference Center at Hyannis, Massachusetts, and it is recognized as one of the premiere retreats in the area.  Recently, we expanded to two retreats per year, both at the same location: and the hotel has reserved two specific weekends for our group every year.  This hotel has recently been sold and will be changing it's name to The Irish Village later this Spring.  You may be familiar with this name as they were formerly the Irish Village in Yarmouth, MA,, which has now closed.  The new owners have built a fabulous reputation as a family friendly property and have purchased the Resort & Conference Center to add the conference aspect to expand their offerings,

The spring retreat is typically the first weekend in April (Saturday-Tuesday), and the fall retreat will typically be the third weekend in November (Saturday-Tuesday).  Dates for each retreat will be finalized a year in advance based on the holiday schedules.  

I specifically selected this hotel because it puts particular emphasis on its conference facilities in addition to creating a beautiful family resort experience.  The benefit of that is that the lighting and power are incredible and can easily accommodate a larger group such as ours with immense power needs.  Think sewing machines, lights, irons, charging stations at just about every table, and I'm sure you can appreciate how important this is.  

My vision has always been to have the "club med" of retreats, providing you with a stress-free weekend of fun, friendship, eating, sewing, learning, eating, shopping, community, massages, and did I say eating!  

Our retreats are for 3 nights and 4 days, starting Saturday at noon, and ending on Tuesday at 4 p.m. The price includes your meals --  starting with Saturday dinner and ending with Tuesday lunch -- your sleeping room, 24-hour secure access to our sewing room, as well as a class workshop, a mystery quilt, and other gifts and activities.
