Quilters’ Weekend

Whether you’ve been quilting forever or just want to learn some beginner basics… Join us for an autumn weekend of sewing, sharing, & devotions as we ‘quilt at the cross’. Expert quilters and those who want to learn some basics of the craft are welcome to attend our quilters’ weekend at the Cross. The retreat will ‘stitch in’ selected scriptures and worship times with planned fellowship as we share our common interest of quilting. Come to laugh and learn from each other as we enjoy the beauty of the Cross and the Laurel Highlands in the fall. Intermediate and advanced quilters may want to bring along their current projects. Have special techniques or hints? We’ll be ready to listen & learn. Need to know the easiest way to “pop a knot” or the best end of the thread to knot? Helping hands will be right there.

The Weekend Leaders: Dr. Barbara Beakley & Dr. Cindy Ridley are retired faculty members of Millersville University in Lancaster County, PA. Both are members of the United Methodist Church and enjoy a variety of activities including quilting and camping. Barb is always working diligently on several quilting projects at different stages of completion, while Cindy tends to make any given quilt project last and last. While neither is an expert in the art of quilting, Barb & Cindy will lead you to share your faith and skills in this quilting experience.
