The Nest and The Coop Retreat Centers

06/04/2026

💜 Quilting friends make the best memories 💜

One of the best parts of our retreat centers is the time spent together — laughing, sewing, sharing ideas, and making memories that last long after the projects are finished. 🧵✨

Whether you come with lifelong friends, quilting sisters, family, or a group from your guild, our retreats are the perfect place to relax, create, and enjoy uninterrupted sewing time together. There’s plenty of space to spread out, work on your projects, and enjoy the company of fellow quilters in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

From productive sewing days to late-night laughs, every retreat becomes something special. ❤️

✨ One of the little perks our retreaters LOVE… ✨

When you stay at one of our retreats, you receive 15% OFF purchases during your stay! 🧵💕

Because let’s be honest… it always happens:
You start a project and suddenly realize you need:
✂️ “Just one more fabric”
🪡 Another notion
🎨 A coordinating thread
📚 Or that pattern you can’t stop thinking about

And the best part? The shop is right here when inspiration strikes. 🙌

Our retreats are designed to give you time to create, relax, laugh with friends, and enjoy all the little extras that make a creative getaway even better.
