Santa Clara Valley Quilt Association |
In Town Retreats - Sewing retreats are held locally for members to get together and sew for a weekend in a group setting.
Marin Retreats - Sewing retreats are held in scenic Marin for members to get together and sew for a weekend in a group setting.
For many years the association has offered an In-Town Retreat in February and September. We accommodate 28 people for a three day sewing spree close to home. This makes an easy escape to just pile everything in our cars and drive a few miles across town. If you forget something just make a quick trip to nearby quilt shops or home.
Our venue of choice is the Aloft Hotel in Mountain View (formerly the Hilton Garden Inn), on El Camino Real just a mile east of Freeway 85. The sleeping rooms are luxurious with small refrigerators and very comfortable beds. The hotel has an exercise room and a pool. The food is usually superb. The fees include two nights (Friday and Saturday) and meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch, including afternoon snacks. You can share your room with a friend or have a private room. We have the use of the spacious, light filled conference room from Friday mid-morning through Sunday late afternoon. We generally have a masseuse come on Saturday and you can make private appointments.
Each sewist has their own power bar and a "conference" table (18" x 6"). There is enough space to accommodate individual small side tables or Sew-Ezi tables. The hotel provides our sewing rooms with four irons and ironing boards.
Registration for these events fills quickly and is on a first come, first served basis.
Registration is mail-in only, using the sign up form in the newsletter.
