From scavenger hunts to show-and-tell: what to expect
The Mayflower Quilters Retreat features a choice of one of three workshop streams, as well as independent study during which quilters gather in the cabins to collaborate and share ideas. Each workshop stream is three days in length, giving students in-depth teacher guidance as they explore new avenues of creativity and skill.
The Retreat has hosted American, British, Canadian and Nova Scotian teachers, with a goal of variety—ideally, we offer a choice of design, sewing machine or hand technique workshops. Evening activities bring the whole group together—teachers do brief presentations on their own work, and a 'Progressive Show and Tell', always a highlight, leads us on a cabin-by-cabin visiting evening to display and admire our own quilts and quilt-related treasures.
A 'Get Acquainted' event (such as a scavenger hunt) is always entertaining. Finally, on the last evening, we tour the workshop rooms to see what each class has accomplished—always a treat.
