Hello friends! Today we are officially moving to a new business email address, which will be [email protected]. Please add this email to the safe senders list for your email provider. We have not turned off the old email address just yet, so don't worry, we'll still get those.

We have noticed an increase in our email being blocked by servers and are hoping that this update will remedy that. Please use this email for all things retreat related only. The quilt shop has their own email address.

Thank you and have a great day!
