Heavenly Stitches Quilting Retreats

The Heavenly Stitches quilting retreats at Singing Hills in Plainville, NH. offer a weekend of sewing up a storm! How often have you wanted to get that machine out to sew this year and just couldn't bring yourself to get out all your supplies? Well, bring the whole lot to Singing Hills and get that quilt done that you have been wanting to finish! Maybe you are a quilter want-to-be, or just like to do other fabric or fiber crafting? We can take care of that! Just bring your projects and cutting and ironing tables are set up for you. There is usually a vendor for any fabric or supplies you might need, mini massages and other fun activities. The food is delicious. The grounds have lovely walking trails as well. Check it out http://www.singinghills.net

But happy quilting!

Is this the Heavenly Gates of which we speak? Is quilting now the purview of a particular religion? Perhaps the stitch-in-time saves nine? Are they a long-arm of the Quilt Police? LOL
