Dave & DeLoa Jones Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Camp Mowana retreat, still a few openings left there are still some openings left for last minute quilters follow the link below for information deloa http://www.deloasquiltshop.com/campmowana2009.html This years retreat promises to be memorable. We have a great line up of teachers, Pam Clarke Cathy Franks Sandra Guilbeau DeLoa Jones Jamie Wallen For those of you who haven't experienced Camp Mowana and the retreat let me give some explanation. Camp Mowana is nestled into the woods near Mansfield,Ohio. It is wonderful to have the backdrop of the colored leaves with the crisp Autumn air. We have 9 machines set up of hands on and demo classes. The machines are open 24 hours so you can practice after classes all to your hearts content. A feature of this retreat that I really like is that all the teachers are staying at the retreat with us. You get to eat your meals with them, talk to them after class, and get to know them. We have a show and tell on Tuesday night. Everyone brings something that they have quilted.(Yes, even the beginners. We were all beginners once and you will find this a very supportive group.) and they bring something that they havent quilted. There are approximately 50 longarm quilters plus 6 professional teachers to give ideas and advice on how it should be quilted. This evening is free and it is just worth so much. It really is a fun evening and very informative. The camp facilities are wonderful. The main retreat center has double capacity rooms that are like hotel rooms. Each room has a private bathroom and all the linens are provided for the rooms. Each room can be locked and has a door to the inside and door to the outside. It is a beautiful setting. The Retreat center at this time is filled so we are spilling over into Oswego Lodge. Oswego is a short walk and we do have classes in that building also. This has more like dorm rooms with bunkbeds. The showers and bathrooms are at the end of the hallway. There are 4 to a room. The prices are different for the different buildings so it does give the campers more options. Camp is September 28th ~ October 1st. To reserve your spot. A $100 deposit is necessary which is refundable up to 30 days before the retreat. The deposit can be sent to DeLoa Jones, 15804 M-140.
