Highlights from the 2019 Retreat
Do you love to quilt away from it all? A fun (and productive) way to support Living Threads is to attend their annual quilt retreat. Quilters stay at the lovely Maranatha Bible & Missionary Conference Center in Muskegon, MI. Our quilters are pampered–no need to haul along bedding (your room will be similar to a hotel room) or food (all meals are provided). We’d love to have you join us! In the meantime, please enjoy these photos from the 2019 Starstruck Quilt Retreat.
