We're Going on Retreat!

Our Spring Retreat is April 10-12, 2026 at the Canmore Inn and Suites, and are a great way to connect with fellow guild members and sewing enthusiasts. We'd love to see you there - if you have questions, please get ahold of us. Non-Member Registration opens at 9 am on March 4th - Registration Link is here, and please e-transfer $150 or $175 to treasurercalgarymqg@gmail.com

• Member pricing of $150 (Non-member $175) gets you a 10 foot table, dedicated power source and WiFi between noon on Friday and 4pm Sunday. 

• We share one cutting and three pressing stations, and of course, the snack table! 

• Because of power restrictions inside the room, personal irons over 500 watts, including Oliso and Rowenta minis are not permitted.  

• We usually do an optional programming element on Saturday afternoon, focused on creativity.  Typically about half of the retreat participates, so whether you choose to partake or not, you'll be in good company

• Registration is limited to 20 people, and will be open to members on Saturday, February 21st and non-members on March 4th

Accommodation, food and transportation are outside of the retreat fee.  With that, you are free to customize the retreat to your liking - for both food and accommodation!

• If you're looking to enjoy a whole room solo, or whether you'd like to bring outdoors loving family or bunk in with a couple of roommates, the Calgary MQG gets a discount on rooms booked at the hotel.  Please contact the hotel to book.

• Most hotel rooms have at least a microwave and fridge, plus there's a huge range of food options within walking distance. The guild generally organizes a few group meals on Saturday night and informal arrangements are made on Friday.

• If you have spouses/partners/travel companions who enjoy the mountains, feel free to arrange your travel with them. We're happy to include them in dinners, as long as they don't mind the quilty talk!
