ARCADIA in Shipshewana – April 2027

Don’t miss your opportunity to visit Shipshewana in Spring 2027 to work the new Quiltworx Technique of the Month Quilt — ARCADIA!  The KING or QUEEN of ARCADIA will be available as well!!   (Arcadia – 80″ x 80″; Queen of Arcadia 99″ x 99″ and King of Arcadia approx 118″ x 118″)

This looks to be such fun!  I love the new border piecing.  Applique will be optional with this pattern — more details will be available later in the year.  I’ll be in Kalispell in October sewing my quilt!  I can’t wait!

I will also be offering a Zoom series which will be included at no additonal cost with your paid registration.  Quiltworx has designed another STUNNING QUILT.

Last TOTM Retreat — I had a wait list — so don’t lose your chance — reserve your seat today!  While most retreaters will be working on the TOTM —  as always, you are also welcome to bring any pattern you wish to sew!

We’ll be retreating from Tuesday, April 13 (start sewing at 10:00 AM) and we will sew until Sunday afternoon (4:00 PM).  THAT IS 6 FULL DAYS OF SEWING!!!   Start early or sew late… or both!

Why Shipshewana, Indiana?

Located in northeastern Indiana – it is the heart of Indiana Amish country.  Within walking distance from the sewing room you can visit to Yoder Department Store or The Cotton Corner which will give you THOUSANDS of bolts of fabrics to choose from.  Just a little further away –  Lolly’s,  Essenhaus Quilt Shop, Caroline’s, Zincks, Fabric Utopia and more!  And don’t forget your stop at JoJo’s Pretzels or Ben’s Pretzels!  Yummy is the word of the day!

Hold your seat with a refundable deposit!

A BobKat Bonus!

You won’t be able to design your quilt in Quiltster until it is officially released to the general public — but with your paid registration — I can offer you design assistance so you can plan early and begin sourcing your fabrics even before the pattern is released.  Design your special quilt in your special colors!!  I can help.  I can then work with Yoder Department Store or The Cotton Corner to create your custom Quilt Kit.

Full payment (or balance after deposit), is due by January 31, 2027. 

Extra Bonus! – Pay in full before December 1st and use coupon code Early-Bird-SP27 to save $75.    Refunds available through February 15 less 10%,  after that, any refund is at the discretion of BobKat Quilts

I hope you’ll consider joining me.  With the video support included — this is a GREAT value — 6 days of sewing and the full Zoom Series and my support from start to finish regardless of your timeline, even if you need support finishing your quilt after the retreat!

Reserve your hotel rooms independently at The Farmstead Inn (request rooms in the west wing) or plan to stay at the nearby campground or check out some of the nearby VRBO / B&B options.  There are other hotels a little less pricey you may want to check out.  You do NOT need to stay at the host hotel to participate in the Retreat.  Guests at the hotel will have breakfast included in their hotel stay – but no other meals are provided.

Featured Patterns  – the new ARCADIA QUILT — but feel free to work on any quilt pattern you wish!
