Get-Away Nearly Sold Out
2025 Get-Away Weekend, April 24 - 27
We have only a couple of spaces left for the 2025 Get-Away weekend at The Mansion, which sits on a bluff overlooking beautiful Keuka Lake in New York’s Finger Lakes. .
If you were thinking about joining us and haven’t put down a deposit yet, don’t delay. Last year everyone loved the new venue and most signed up as soon as the 2025 dates were announced this summer.
The well-lit workspace where we spend our days quilting and crafting is in the newer venue space attached to the west side of The Mansion, an 1800’s estate with a deep history in the region. You can opt to stay in the antique furnished mansion with updated modern baths or stay in the newer lake house-styled inn to the east of The Mansion.
The retreat cost includes all meals, snacks, a wine tasting, a goodie bag, a pattern for the optional guided quilt project, a mini-class kit, and instruction. The classroom is equipped with individual work tables, cutting and ironing stations and a mobile quilt shop. All you need to bring is your supplies (including your sewing machine) to work on the guided project and/or your own project.
The three-day basic retreat runs from Friday, April 25, at 9 a.m. to Sunday, April 27, at 3 p.m. But you can opt to add the extra day and begin your retreat at 9 a.m. on Thursday, April 24.
Also, when you book you hotel room, you can opt to come the night before your retreat begins, as well as stay Sunday night after the classroom closes at 3 p.m. for the same low retreat price. The room prices are per room, not per person, so if you want to share your room with a friend, you can split the cost.
To sign up for the retreat, complete the registration on the sign-up brochure and mail it along with a deposit. You will find the sign-up brochure on the retreat page along with more detailed information about the 2025 Get-Away Weekend. Next, you need to call The Mansion and reserve the room and dates that you want, Be sure to ask for the Quilting with Margaret rate. Once the retreat is full, you can still contact me to be put on a wait list. There is often a last-minute cancellation, life happens. And if not, being on the wait list will assure you are the first to hear about the 2026 Get-Away along with those who attend in 2025.
