The Family That Quilts Together Stays Together

Join the Retreat Center staff for four unforgettable days filled with sewing, laughter, and friendship at the Family Who Quilts Together Stays Together retreat! This January, bring along a sister, cousin, Mom, or friend and create lasting memories with us. We welcome all family members and close friends to share in the joy of quilting together—celebrating the special bonds that make each stitch meaningful. Whether you bring your own fabric or shop at one of our 13 quilt shops, you'll have all you need for the exciting projects we’ve lined up. You can also bring your sewing machine or reserve one of ours online—whichever you prefer!

Don’t forget to bring projects to work on, as we love seeing what everyone is creating. There’s plenty of time for open sewing, the perfect opportunity to tackle those UFOs (unfinished objects)! Plus, our Thursday night Show & Tell is always a highlight of the week. While participation is optional, it’s a great chance to share something special you’ve made, either before or during the retreat. The stories behind these creations always bring out all the warm and fuzzy feelings.

In addition to hours of sewing, you’ll enjoy lots of fellowship, fun, and of course, shopping. Whether you need a break or want to browse, Missouri Star’s 13 quilt shops have you covered!
