Quilt Camp

Quilt Camp 2010 - Thursday July 29, 1:00 - Sunday August 1, 1:00

Sponsored by Sew Biz Inc.and the River City Quilt Guild, Quilt Camp is both a relaxing good time and an exciting and stimulating event open to all levels of quilters, including beginners. Camp fees are $275 for four days, If we have 30 campers we will provide a gift certificate to everyone!.When your commitment is definite, please provide a deposit to reserve your space....$100 deposit will be fine on or before June 1, 2010. Our guest teacher will arrive late Thursday afternoon. She will show cutting steps for the first camp quilt, a dramatic design featuring a center printed panel of your choice. Friday we will assemble the panel quilt, Friday night our teacher will show her own quilts, present a short program on how beautiful fabrics are produced, introduce new fabrics not yet in shops, and engage everyone in "Fabric Buyer for a Day", with prizes!. The next quilt will be introduced...an easy version of Tumbling Blocks, sure to please. Kits and supplies will be available for purchase. Supply lists will be available at the end of June, giving you time to round up fabrics and supplies that you may already have. All meals and snacks are included. Overnight at Selu is $20 per night; the linen fee is $6 for your stay. You can bring your own bed linens and towels if you prefer.

Bring any of your projects in progress to work on if you wish, and plan your camp adventure to suit yourself. "Show and Tell" time is on the agenda. Walking trails will beckon, and reading or napping under a big shade tree will be fun, too.

The setting for the camp is the Selu Conservatory - 380 beautiful acres of mountains, woods, trails and the New River. The main gathering room is The Barn, with ample room to set up your camp "studio" and to spread out a quilt as needed. The adjoining open porch at tree-top level is marvelous for meals and snack breaks. Sleeping accommodations are "camp-like," featuring bunk beds. Alternatively, local campers can elect to commute to their homes at night, or others might prefer near-by motels (Comfort Inn, Best Western, and LaQuinta.... 2 to 3 miles from Selu). Our workspace in the barn is air-conditioned as are the bunk rooms in the Lodge. Visit the Selu homepage to see more pictures and learn more about the conservatory.
