Quilt Camp 2024: The Virtual Quilting Retreat for Quilt Scouts

As the weather cools and quilters everywhere hunker down with cozy projects, Quilt Scouts are preparing for one of the most anticipated events of the year—Quilt Camp 2024! This year’s retreat is a bit different but promises all the fun, learning, and camaraderie you’ve come to expect. We’re taking Quilt Camp virtual this time, and it’s going to be an unforgettable weekend filled with fun, creativity, and connection!

What is Quilt Camp 2024?

Quilt Camp is the annual quilt retreat exclusively for Quilt Scouts. In 2024, it will be a completely virtual experience, allowing you to join from the comfort of your home. No travel, no packing (well, just a little!), just a weekend of pure quilting joy. You can expect hands-on quilting sessions, live tutorials, community discussions, and plenty of surprises.

Who is Quilt Camp For?

Quilt Camp is a special event created exclusively for Quilt Scout members. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or just getting started, you’ll feel right at home among fellow Quilt Scouts who share your passion. It’s a fantastic opportunity to bond with like-minded quilters, learn new skills, and work on fun projects together.

Where is it Happening?

All of our live sessions will be hosted on Circle, our favorite platform for connecting with the Quilt Scouts community. You’ll be able to follow along with each lesson, ask questions, and share your progress with fellow participants. Circle is easy to navigate, and we’ll make sure you have everything you need to jump right into the virtual fun!

When is Quilt Camp

Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 9th and Sunday, November 10th. We’ll kick off both days at 9:00 AM MT and wrap up by 4:00 PM MT. With plenty of breaks and downtime to recharge (and refuel), you can immerse yourself in quilting without feeling rushed.
