01/24-01/26 Quick Curve Ruler Virtual Retreat
Join us for a weekend of sewing fun, all from the comfort of your own home. Stay in, wear your PJ's, and sew all weekend with fellow fabric nerds!
We will be hosting this Virtual Retreat on Zoom, with scheduled times to get together for demonstrations and to show off our progress. It's going to be a ton of fun!
This retreat is centered around the Quick Curve Ruler from Sew Kind of Wonderful, a wonderful ruler that helps make pieced curves much easier to stitch. Together, we'll gets lots of practice sewing curves, making various quilt designs from their One Wonderful Curve book.
The retreat includes demonstration videos which are available to watch ahead of time if you want to (we know some attendees like to get organized before the weekend starts). You'll be able to ask questions and get additional demonstrations during the retreat, too.
Included in your retreat package:
- a copy of the One Wonderful Curve book
- a couple of extra fun goodies (they're a surprise!)
If you don't already own a Quick Curve Ruler, be sure to add them to your order by selecting one (or both) from the Add-On Items section.
We've added some of our favorite Quick Curve quilt patterns as Add-on items, too. If you want a larger selection to pick from, you can order PDF patterns directly from Sew Kind of Wonderful.

FAQ's:
Q: When will the retreat package arrive?
A: Packages will arrive at your home at least 1 week before the retreat starts.
Q: How is a "retreat" different from a class?
A: A retreat is more informal than a class. Even though we will be demonstrating techniques, attendees will choose their own project and stitch at their own pace. Everyone chats while stitching, and those who want to collaborate or help each other can do so.
Q: I already own the book, can I still sign up?
A: Yes! Please choose the "Mystery Bundle" option instead of the "book" option
Q: I want both the book and the bundle, can I do that?
A: Yes! Choose the "book" option and then click the checkbox next to the bundle in the "add on items" list to get both.
Q: Do I need to do any prep work before the retreat starts?
A: We recommend reading through the book before the weekend starts, so you can think through what you might like to work on. If you want to do even more prework, you can watch the demo videos as soon as you get the retreat link (but this is not required!)
Q: Do I need to be online the entire time?
A: Absolutely not, we expect people to pop in and out as they wish throughout the weekend.
