Owner Heidi Kaisand loves to spend the day being creative with you! So, she created her own retreats and calls them "Come Create with Me" retreats. Mark your calendar for these day-only retreats where you can dedicate nine hours (9 am to 6 pm) to getting your projects done. Whether you're quilting, card making, scrap booking, knitting, or rug hooking, we'll have work space for you. $18 fee includes beverages and a catered lunch.
