Do you enjoy sewing? Do you like hanging out with like minded people? Yes? Then the Fat Quarterly Sewing Retreat is for you!
We have planned a fun filled weekend of silly games, sewing challenges, tutorial workshops and more! Come and meet the Fat Quarterly team in their entirety (yes we will ALL be there!) and make lots of new friends in the quilting community.
Bring along your WIPs, or start something new! Take part in some of the tutorial workshops or hang with friends! The choice is yours! We can’t wait to meet you all.

There are many possibilities for accomodation in London! But please be aware that it is the Jubilee Weekend and hotels are likely to get booked up pretty quickly. Baden Powell House is located in South Kensington.
The Meininger Hostel is a partner hostel to Baden Powell House but has VERY limited accomodation for 2-3 June.
Other hostels can be found at www.hostelworld.com
Fat Quarterly has reserved a limited number of rooms at the Grange Strathmore hotel.
A single costs £99 plus VAT (B&B)
A double or twin costs £109 plus VAT (B&B)
(Looking for a room mate? Why not start a thread in our Flickr group!)
Please be sure to mention Fat Quarterly when making your booking.
I’ve booked. Going over to the Flickr group to find a roomie.
I have received your confirmation for my weekend pass and I am beyond exited already! The flight tickets were purchased earlier today, no to go hunt for a hotel – thank you for this information!!
I am very tempted!
Is there a programme available?
I have never been to a quilt retreat; do I need to take my sewing machine?
Afool may ask more questions in an hour than a wise man can answer in seven years.
We will be releasing more information about the schedule of events and tutorial workshops that will be offered, over the next few weeks. The emphasis of our event is more about hanging out and getting to know each other better.
Obviously it will not be easy for everybody to bring a sewing machine to the event. We will have a number of workshops that do not require a sewing machine and we will have a limited number of machines available for workshops that do require a sewing machine. However if you do bring your machine you will be guaranteed a place in the workshops of your choosing!
Hi there, am very tempted by your retreat! Will there be traders there at all and do you have a program yet?
Many thanks
