This is a great opportunity to meet new people. Many returning guests make/bring gifts for each attendee. Feel free to participate in the fun!

Monday Early check in to the Retreat Center:

If you are wanting to get an early start on the retreat or your flight brings you to Hamilton Monday, you may check in after 4:00 pm.  The cost is $50 per person and is payable when you arrive. If you are planning for an early arrival please select "Yes" on the registration form and we will be waiting for you!

Bring projects to work on -  You may not want to take a class and if you choose not to do this you will want to bring projects to work on.  Your free time is your own to do as you please.  We will have demonstrations and optional mini classes throughout the retreat.  You can participate in these classes if you wish.  We do not include a supply list for these classes because they are smaller and do not require much fabric.  You can shop an MSQC shop or browse through one of the area stores.  There is always something to do in Hamilton.

Sewing tables - We do have assigned seating for sewing. Each person will have their own 2' X 4' sewing table. These tables will be pushed together in pods of four. You will need to consolidate all of your sewing materials into this 2' X 4' space.

Meals - . Lunch and dinner will be provided by our local caterers. Lunches are served at noon Wednesday and Thursday. Dinners will be served at 6:00pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. (Tuesday lunch you are on your own)

Snack Table - We set out a snack table and encourage you to bring a snack to share with the group.  

Show & Tell - We will have a Show & Tell time on Thursday night for those who want to participate.

Shipping - There is free shipping for all of our United States guests.  We have reduced shipping rates for our foreign customers.

You can bring your unfinished projects from home, or drop in at our stores in town to purchase anything you may want to start something new. PLUS.....our sewing/activity and kitchen areas are available for you to use 24 hrs. a day!  And, when you're ready to turn in, you'll sleep like a log in our comfy, cozy beds.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Handicapped Rooms will read "Sales Ended" online. You must call to reserve one of the two rooms.
• All rooms upstairs are shared rooms. NO PRIVATE ROOMS.
• Ages 18 and over please. 

Our sleeping rooms are on the second floor of the Retreat Center and are only accessible via stairs. They are shared rooms, configured in several different ways from rooms that have three twin beds, to a room that sleeps five. There are six individual, private bathrooms, each with a shower, toilet and sink, just steps away from the sleeping rooms that are shared by all the guests on the second floor. We also have two sleeping rooms located on the main floor, each with two twin beds and its own bathroom, that we reserve for individuals who cannot physically climb the stairs to the second floor. We are located 15 minutes east of I-35 and MO Hwy 36, approximately 60 miles north of Kansas City. If you are flying in, you'll want to fly into Kansas City International airport.  We are a little over an hour from the airport.

Men are welcome at all of our quilting retreats.  In our retreat center we have the following sleep accommodations:

•          8 sleeping rooms in the main retreat center that share 6 communal restrooms. 
•          2 rooms with their own restroom that are accessible for individuals with disabilities. 
•          1 sleeping room with 8 beds in our mini-retreat center with access to 2 communal restrooms.

We assign the rooms with the communal restroom facilities in the main retreat center to individuals of the same gender.  Often women are assigned to these rooms in the main retreat center because more women register for the retreats, but if enough men registered, we would assign men to these rooms.  We reserve the accessible rooms for individuals with a disability, but make these rooms available to another guest (male or female) if no individual requests an accessible room.  The sleeping room in the mini-retreat center is assigned to a group of the same gender to share the sleeping room and communal restrooms.  The rooms in the mini-retreat center are often assigned to individuals of the opposite gender from those assigned to the main retreat center.

Missouri Star Quilt continues to explore retreat offerings that meet our customer’s interests and demands.  We hope you will consider joining one of our retreats.
