Quilter's Get-A-Way 2023

Calling all UFO Hunters! Time to conquer your quilting backlog!

​

Remember that half-finished project tucked away in a drawer, whispering promises of completion? This year, at the Great Okoboji UFO Challenge, we're bringing your sewing dreams back to life!

Dust off those "unfinished projects"—whether it's one, fifteen, or (we won't judge!) thirty—and join us for a week of creative camaraderie and quilting triumph.

But wait, there's more!

• Unleash your inner quilter-trader: Feeling stuck on a project? Swap it for someone else's at our UFO Exchange (think of it as a matchmaking mission for abandoned masterpieces!).

• Give & Get Goodies: Got quilting treasures you no longer need? Share the sewing love at our giveaway table—new homes and happy needles guaranteed!

• Welcome, Clover Cottage!: We're thrilled to have Joni and her fabulous fabric emporium joining us again, bringing a bounty of inspiration in the form of kits, patterns, and everything a quilter's heart desires. Let's show them some Okoboji hospitality!

• Scrappy Savvy: Join Jeanne Johnson's workshop and unlock the magic of stash-busting techniques. You'll leave with a newfound appreciation for those fabric scraps and a masterpiece in the making!

Choose your adventure:

• 7-Day/6-Night Retreat: Arrive Wednesday, conquer UFOs until the following Wednesday, and soak in every minute of crafty bliss.

• 5-Day/4-Night Retreat: Join the fun Wednesday afternoon and stitch your way through a four-night whirlwind of creativity, culminating in a Sunday farewell.

Fuel your creativity (and taste buds):

• Chef Chad's delicious meals (Brunch-Dinner format) will keep you energized and happy. Just let him know about any dietary needs upon arrival.

• Satisfy your sweet tooth with the communal snack table—feel free to bring some treats to share!

Pamper yourself:

• Pedicures, manicures, haircuts, and more are available throughout the retreat—treat yourself to some "prettiness" time with Mindy!

Show & Tell Extravaganza:

• Share your finished quilts and UFO conquests on Saturday night—let's celebrate each other's sewing journeys! We might even have an additional Tuesday night Show & Tell for even more inspiration.

Packing essentials:

• Linens and towels

• Your infectious enthusiasm for all things qulting!

Ready to launch your UFO attack? We can't wait to welcome you to the Great Okoboji UFO Challenge! Remember, arrival is after 7 am on Wednesday.

See you soon,

Susan
