ROOMS
You'll sleep in a twin bed in a shared room (3 to a room) with shared bathrooms.
CLASS (optional)
I'm teaching The Magic of Mixing Prints and curved piecing with my Legacy Wheel pattern.
Participation is optional -- you can just work on whatever you please, if you prefer. You'll still be included in the fun!
SPACE TO SEW
The sewing room is massive. You'll sew at your own 6 foot table, and there is ample design wall space for everyone!
*** BRING YOUR OWN MACHINE ***
SHOP
Pop-up shop with fabric and a few tools, too! Oooooo.... fabric!
FOOD & DRINK
All meals from dinner/supper on arrival day to breakfast on departure day are included. I'm a pretty darn good cook, and I'm your chef during your stay.
We also have a coffee bar with half-n-half and sugar. Bring your favorite creamer and alternative sweetener, if that's your jam.
Water, some sodas, and some snacks are also provided. We won't be mad at ya if you bring some treats along, though.
Alcoholic beverages are allowed, but not provided.
GET COZY
Hot tub and fire pit on property!
Lovely spaces outdoors to have your morning coffee or a break from it all.
Cozy space in the main living area upstairs, with comfy seating. Great for some hand sewing or reading!
Wifi.
ACTIVITES
Well, there's the sewing, of course.
I'll come with a few games and we can decide later if we're playing them or not (sometimes games are great fun, other times they distract us from our sewing!)
Laughing. I think this counts as exercise if done heartily enough. I encourage that.
Hiking. If that's your thing, you go right ahead. That's all you and whomever you can convince to go with you.
From the owner's website description:
"…perched on the outskirts of the historic district with captivating mountain vistas and serene river scenes. This picturesque spot is steeped in history, offering a tranquil escape amid the splendors of nature.
Just a stone’s throw away, the majestic Hiawassee River unfolds, bordered by the lush expanses of the Cherokee National Forest, inviting you and your guests to immerse in a bounty of outdoor adventures tailored to every preference.
The local area offers outdoor adventures such as rafting, hiking, and the renowned Hiwassee River Rail Adventure.
Just 9 miles away, explore regional flavors at the local Amish Farmer’s Market, open seasonally Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm."
