The idea of a group of friends taking a getaway to spend time together and do crafts is certainly not new. It just makes sense to spend time with some pals, share ideas and resources and take a few days to finish up a project you’ve been procrastinating on. These trips usually involve a lot of planning and coordination, not just for a place to stay, but a place that has the room for you to do what it is you’re looking to do. For sewists, this means finding a place with lots of outlets and good lighting and then planning to pack up sewing machines, ironing boards and all kinds of supplies. But now there’s a place that provides everything you could need to have a weekend of sewing and quilting, friendship and fun. The Quilt Peddler in Fennimore, is a truly fabulous shop, with 10,000 bolts of fabric. And now they’ve created the perfect place for a sewing getaway.
This gorgeous and huge cabin sleeps six. It's in a beautiful, serene setting and is super inviting. The kitchen is stocked, so you can plan to make all your meals. Just looking at this place makes my shoulders relax a bit. You can tell this is the perfect place to spend some time unwinding.
There's a stellar wrap-around deck that will be a perfect spot to sip coffee or tea and just take in the peace from the surroundings. Don't be surprised if you have visits from some furry friends, as well.
There is a giant common room that's completely set up for sewing. You'll find a sewing area that has excellent lighting, a table for everyone with comfy chairs, two large ironing boards with irons, two design walls, two cutting tables with large cutting mats all on a new hardwood floor.
It's a dream set up for you to spread out and work, whether you're working together on a project or on individual quilts. You don't have to worry about any of the logistics. Just pack up your machine and your project and head on up. It couldn't be easier.
When you're ready to get away from the tables, head over to the comfy sitting area where there are still more great lights and lamps to help you see what you're doing. They've really thought of everything here and you can tell it was set up by people who'd be happy to use the place themselves.
This cabin is truly giant and perfect for a weekend of crafting. No matter what you love to do, the set up here is just perfect. Gather some friends or family and plan for a few days doing nothing but the hobby you love.
There are beds for six here and the cost is $50 per night for each person for the first two days and $35 for additional days. It's a totally reasonable and affordable way to get away and have a truly fabulous time with friends.
Maybe the best part is that the cabin is just two miles away from the Quilt Peddler. Head on over for inspiration, to stock up on fabric or just to check out one of the best quilt shops in the state. They'll make sure you have everything you need to have a fabulous sewing weekend.
They've got a massive amount of fabric, along with notions and all kinds of other goodies. You'll love the huge selection and it's a great chance to get out of the cabin and stock up before getting back to sewing.
