The next morning breakfast is from 7:30 - 9 a.m. during which time we draw names for some of the many prizes we give out and it's fun because we go backwards in value building up to the last mornings' breakfast. Next the quilters go to the Pine Cone Quarters where the vendors give demonstrations of new projects and quilting ideas. In a typical retreat you will have the opportunity to visit up to 8 to 12 demonstration workshops. Then quilt until 6 p.m. when it is time for the Pizza Party or, perhaps a cookout. After the dinner it's time for a guest speaker and usually a trunk show. 
Sewing Station in the charming "Pine Cone Quarters"
During some of the retreats we will have Appraisers. Some retreats will be staffed by popular local teachers and some retreats will have prominent national teachers. We promise you one thing...you will never be bored. NEW! Thunder Bay Resort has purchased eight "Janome Jem Gold 2" sewing machines to be used by our retreaters. These machines feature twelve stitches, built-in needle threader and jam proof drop in bobbin. The feed dogs can be dropped for free motion quilting. The Jem Gold 2 weighs only 12 pounds. The machines can be rented during the four day retreat for only $35.00 and will be available on a first reserved-first serve basis.

Karen F., Hurricane, West Virginia "I love the country setting and all the warm, friendly staff. The lodging is very woodsy which makes you want to make a quilt." Rosemary C., Grove City, Ohio The entire staff here has been wonderful, they seem to be some of the most pleasant people in Michigan I am a first time retreater, so I didnt know what to expect. I was a little nervous. But everyone was so kind and friendly, I instantly became comfortable. The tips and tricks we shared and the gorgeous quilts everyone made was a treat! The elk viewing and dinner was the icing on the cake! Im definitely coming back! Kristal, Maysville, Kentucky "The facilities and the meals were wonderful. This was my first retreat and I think other retreats will have a very difficult, if not impossible time meeting this standard. I will definitely be back for another Quilters Retreat at Thunder Bay Resort" Terri Smith, Huber Heights, Ohio |
