About this Event

Come sew with us!! Join Natalie and Misty Doan for FOUR fun-filled days of sewing, laughter, and creativity at the 2027 Doan Girls Retreat in Hamilton, Missouri (Quilt Town USA)!!

This amazing duo can't wait to inspire you - they'll be teaching two brand-new projects and sharing stories about their lives, their family, and their sewing journey. Get ready to laugh, create, and maybe even shed a happy tear or two!

Natalie and Misty are putting the finishing touches on their projects right now, and trust us, they're going to be incredible! Brand new for 2027, and worth the wait. 🎉

Here's the best part: all the fabric for both project tops is included in the retreat - just show up with your favorite notions and tools, and you're set! Bring your own machine, or reserve one of ours online, it’s totally up to you. And if you forget something (or just want to shop till you drop), no worries at all! Hamilton is home to 17 Missouri Star quilt shops, so you're covered no matter what!

While Natalie and Misty will keep your days full of fun, you should plan to bring along your own projects too! We love seeing what everyone's working on, and we build in plenty of open sewing time (hello, UFO pile — this is your moment!).

And of course, we can't forget our beloved Thursday evening Show & Tell! It's totally optional, but it's always a highlight of the event. Bring something you're proud of, whether it's from home or something you whipped up during the week. There's something so special about hearing everyone's stories - quilting is deeply personal, and Show & Tell always leaves us all with the warmest, fuzziest feelings. 💛

We can't wait to sew, laugh, and create beautiful things with you in 2027!
