The beauty and ambiance will leave a lasting impression on your heart\, for sure. And\, if you are so inclined\, there are also lots of wine-tasting opportunities. This is a wonderful destination\, and it often sells out. Blocked rooms for the Quiltworx Affair are limited\, so please don’t wait to register. \nNote – The Wine Country Inn is a Smoke-Free property. \nLODGING … AT THE WINE COUNTRY INN\, PALISADE\, COLORADO \nYou will need to make your own lodging reservations at The Wine Country Inn. The Inn has rooms for us at a rate of $135 per Room per night\, plus applicable taxes\, for either a King room (sleeps 2) or two Queen beds in a room. Please note\, these rates may increase over time\, so the earlier you book\, the better. \nThe King rooms sleep up to 3 people\, and the Queen Rooms can sleep up to 4 people. This gives you the flexibility to perhaps come early for a day or two\, bring a friend who does not quilt (ie a husband)\, or come together with up to 4 of you per room (to save on costs as this works out to as little as $42.20 per person per night – and that includes taxes). We recommend that you arrive on Sunday 3/16 at the latest\, and depart on Saturday\, March 22\, 2024. You may also choose to lodge elsewhere – please know that if you do this\, that breakfast will be your responsibility\, but all of the other meals that are included for those staying at The Inn will also apply to you. \nDINING….Breakfast is included each day with your room rate at The Wine Country Inn\, and the price of the retreat also includes a Gourmet Lunch & Dinner for Monday through Friday\, as well as an open hot/cold beverage station for our event. As an added bonus\, each evening The Inn offers a complimentary glass of wine for each guest who would like to partake. We will gather on Sunday evening for dinner (for all who would like to join us)\, at a local restaurant – the cost of this dinner is not included\, and the price is TBD. \nQUILTING… THE MYSTERY OF IT ALL … This retreat includes a Wall-Size Quilt Kit (80″ x 80″) AND Pattern for the an Exclusive Quiltworx Mixer. There will be several colorway options as we want everyone to be delighted with their quilt. You will also have the option to enlarge your quilt to either a Queen or King Size Quilt\, add backing\, and\, if you just want to sew\, sew\, sew\, we also have a Retreat Kit Cutting Service! If you elect to cut your own quilt\, you will receive your fabrics about 2 months prior to the retreat so that you can come prepared\, with your kit all cut and ready to go. The quilt design will be released in August. At the time you will also have your option of colorways. \nFor those of you new to Judy Niemeyer’s paper-piecing and fabric cutting techniques\, no problem – just let us know. We will give you a little extra ‘homework’ that you can do before you receive your fabrics so that you will get some familiarity and gain some confidence. \nADDITIONAL AMENITIES … There is a Jacuzzi at The Inn — it will be a nice way to end the day\, so bring your swim suit. There is also a Gift Shop\, Fitness Center\, Free WiFi\, and a Laundry Center. \nSUPPLY LIST … We will provide you a supply list so that you can check-it-twice.\nWe also have a Quiltworx Favorites Supplies List\, which you can find here. \nSEWING MACHINES … We do not have machines to rent. Please be sure to get your machine serviced before the retreat … and don’t forget to bring all of the parts! \nGETTING THERE… The closest airport is the Grand Junction Regional airport – 12 miles from The Wine Country Inn. At the time of the write-up\, there are car rental services and Uber available from the airport. There is also an Amtrak train from Denver’s Grand Central station that will take you through the beautiful Rockies that will also take you to Grand Junction. \nFRESH AIR… Everyone can view the spectacular mountains on the edge of the Rockies\, maybe even catch a glimpse of the wild life\, breathe in the freshest air and enjoy the spectacular blue skies and relaxing way of life here in Colorado while you stitch! You will find time early in the morning to take a refreshing walk. For those of you who really want to get a taste of Colorado\, we recommend arriving or departing a day or two after the retreat. Again\, you are responsible for your lodging\, and we will provide you the information of The Wine Country Inn \nWHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?… One thing that is true through Colorado is that if you don’t like the weather\, just wait 5 minutes because it will change. We recommend casual clothes\, comfy shoes\, and a light sweater for indoors\, and warm clothes\, boots\, and gloves for anytime you are outside. The average temperatures in Palisade for March is in the mid-50s. This event is also in March\, so there is a chance that we could have a snow storm. Teresa and her staff will arrive a day early on Saturday 3/16 (just in case of inclement weather)\, and so that is something you may want to consider as well.
