  Our In-Town Retreat is a great opportunity to get together and sew!  Bring an unfinished project that you're working on or start something new and share your ideas and inspiration with others! You can set up your sewing equipment, leave at the end of each day and return to finish your project the following day. It is a retreat but you get to sleep in your own bed at night.  Your projects will be safely undisturbed until you return the next day.

  19 Leeming Dr, Nepean, ON K2H 5P6

  Location has level entry, single story, free parking, kitchen for use.  We will again be able to leave our tables set up for the weekend.

  Our irons, ironing boards, cutting mats, power cords & surge suppressors will be there.

  Bring your own meals.  The fridge and kettle will be available to use.  We will provide coffee, tea and snacks.

  Cost:  $45 for the weekend, or $15 for Saturday Only or Sunday Only
