This was my first Salem Stitches retreat and it was really good! Lots of chatting, visits by the sewing Elves and great giveaways. I never attended a retreat this large (over 60 people) so I didn’t know what to expect. Other than a couple of things out of Kathleen’s control (ie temperature) the retreat went smoothly (from an attendee’s point of view) and Kathleen was always available for questions. I will be signing up for additional Salem Retreats for 2027

We had a wonderful time. Met alot of very nice people. The food was delicious. The hotel was great. I can't wait until next year.

What a fun weekend! From going to the Virginia quilt museum, spending time at Patchwork Plus, learning from Kate Colleran, I’ve been great accommodations and excellent food - thank you so much to Kathleen and all the members of her hive! Congratulations to Cynthia and the team at Patchwork Plus!

What a wonderful retreat!!!! Everything and Everyone was amazing!

I had a good time, learned something new and found I had some tolerance, more than I thought I had for a certain atmosphere. The food was good and the people respectful. I loved the demos, learning something new and I thought the designer awesome. Thanks for the experience. I will remember it with warmth and a smile.
