Spring Retreat 2026 — A Weekend to Remember!

CQC's Spring Retreat 2026 was a huge success! Twenty-four quilters gathered for a weekend packed with creativity, community, and some wonderful surprises. Retreaters arrived to gift bags filled with goodies from the generous Alison Dale of Moda Fabrics, and Laura from Highlands Ranch High Country Quilts stopped by to share exciting news about her new store.

Saturday brought a visit from Pat Smith and Karen Truesdell, a little local quilt shop hopping, and a fun fabric exchange game. Sunday's Show & Tell was inspiring — and Project Warm Hearts celebrated an amazing 50 completed blocks!

A big shoutout to the Holiday Inn Express & Suites for their outstanding hospitality, and a huge thank you to Spring Retreat Co-chairs Stephanie Smith stephiesrose@gmail.com & Jolie Maes jolena.virgo@icloud.comfor an incredible weekend

Fall Retreat 2026
October 9th-11th

A big thank-you to everyone who joined us for CQC’s 2026 Fall Retreat! We had a wonderful weekend of sewing, friendship, inspiration, and creativity, including a fantastic trunk show and workshop with Rita Lynne. Thank you to everyone who contributed snacks, door prizes, handmade gifts, and Project Warm Hearts blocks. Your generosity and enthusiasm helped make the weekend special. We look forward to another fun retreat next year with Stephanie Smith taking the reins!

Happy quilting!
