Shipshewana Quilt Retreat
“Join us in the heart of Indiana Amish country to relax, retreat and recharge!”
Jan. 28 – February 2, 2025
here’s no better place for retreating than Shipshewana, Indiana. Nestled in Indiana Amish country, it’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and retreat. We’re excited to invite you to the Shipshewana Quilt Retreat!
The February retreat (Tuesday – Sunday / 6 days of stitching time) is our after-the-holidays getaway. The famous Shipshewana Pajama Sale takes place on the first Saturday in February and we’re there to enjoy all the great deals.
The April retreat (Tuesday – Sunday / 6 days of stitching time) is our welcome to spring. The flowers begin to bloom and we have lots of time to spend with old friends and make new ones too. You’ll have plenty of time time to work on whatever project you want, have time for pie, and shopping too.
The November retreat (Tuesday – Sunday / 6 days of stitching time) is a special time to just get away, and enjoy the sights and sounds of northern Indiana while stitching to our hearts’ content. Depending on the dates, we could be in town for the Christmas tree lighting and parade. We sew, shop, eat lots of great food, spend time with old friends, and make new ones!
We love being with everyone, sharing your projects, making new friends, and stitching with treasured ones, and are excited to invite you to the Shipshewana Quilt Retreat!
