About
This three-day creative getaway is designed for people who love to sew, quilt, and spend uninterrupted time making things alongside other creative souls. Bring your sewing machine, bring your projects, and settle in for a weekend where the only thing on your to-do list is stitching.
The retreat takes place in the Creative Jam's beautiful log cabin studio near Lake George, filled with natural light from 42 windows and bright lighting designed for detailed creative work. Every participant will have their own 6' table space to spread out, sew comfortably, and make real progress on projects.
This retreat tends to attract the best kind of creative people — encouraging, generous with tips, and happy to chat while the machines hum. Beginners, experienced quilters, and everyone in between are welcome.

- Friday | 1 PM - 8 PM: Arrival, setup, and welcome sewing time. We'll kick off the retreat with a relaxed pizza and wings welcome dinner while everyone settles in and starts stitching.
