The retreat will be held at Camp Huston and Conference Center in Gold Bar, WA. The sleeping rooms are double occupancy (twin beds). All meals are provided. There is a large, well-lit room available for around-the-clock stitching and your supplies can be left there safely all weekend. Stitchers need to bring their own bedding and towels, although linens can be rented from Camp Huston at a cost of $20.00 for the weekend. Rented bedding includes towels, sheets, a blanket, a pillow, and pillowcase.

The 2026 Exchange is a Winter Ornament exchange. Think snow, stars, candles, trees, kids with sleds…all the fun winter stuff. If you would like to participate, please bring a hand stitched ornament and check in with Sue or Debby when you arrive. We will have anonymous bags so don’t worry about wrapping them.

The retreat begins on Thursday, May 28th at 3:00 PM and ends after lunch on Sunday, May 31st. Double occupancy rooms (4 days/ 3-nights) are $415. Depending on the number of registrants, there may be single rooms available at a rate of $511 (4 day/3 nights). Single rooms won’t be assigned until April 15th. If you want a single room, please select the Single Occupancy option on the form and your name will be put on a “first come/first served” list. If there are any single rooms available on April 15th, one will be assigned to you.
