Artists’ Retreat | March 15-28, 2026
• Great News! The Crow Timber Frame Barn will open in March 2026 for our first 2-week Art-in-Community for advanced/serious quilt makers. The dates fall within the first moments of Spring when our farm is just waking up from the winter’s cold; this is a magical time and why we chose these dates.
The new title Art-in-Community more closely identifies the integrity & purpose of such a retreat where each of us will be surrounded by other dedicated artists who understand our focus and our commitment to our love of textiles.• Please Note: These two weeks will be open only to those coming for both weeks and who are working seriously at a more advanced level.
• Independent Study: All who elect to come and participate will work independently which means each will be self-directed, ready to work on their own ideas whether in the dry studios or wet studios. Please know Nancy will gladly help or critique as wanted. She plans to work alongside all of you.
• Let’s concentrate on being together so we can enjoy this very special time.
