Come quilt with us! Enjoy the charm of a
country inn, the fellowship of a quilter’s retreat, the beauty of Vermont.
Kim Seymour, an experienced quilter and the Innkeeper at the Colonial House, offers Quilter's Weekend Retreats. The retreats are an opportunity to immerse yourself in a total quilting experience, surround yourself with other quilters and enhance your quilting skills ~ it’s a chance to just have fun with other quilters and be pampered at the Inn at the same time. As one student said, "The memories will live on and be cherished for years to come. Just like our quilts." So— Come quilt with us!
