Backstitch Retreat: Spring 2026Fri, May 01Bill McGuire Centre
"Just like a backstitch holds things together, our retreats are about connection, creativity and community."
Join us while we gather and create beautiful things and memories by taking time away from our daily responsibilities. We look forward to welcoming you to a weekend filled with inspiration and creativity along side the beautiful Kenebecasis River in Rothesay, New Brunswick.
Bring your sewing machine, a project of your choice and slip away from routines as we create for an entire weekend! Stretch your legs to walk a trail to the river's edge or bring a campchair and sit on the Renforth Wharf. Enjoy continental breakfasts and a catered lunch on Saturday, as well as coffee and tea all weekend. An optional workshop and a Make & Take will add some variety with time to shop at our Pop-Up Shop, which will be packed full of curated notions, fabric bundles and ready to sew kits. We will conclude the weekend with a 'Sew and Tell' on Sunday.
