Annie’s Mid-Winter Christmas Sewing Retreat, 21 – 23 June 2024

Clock tower

We would like to invite you to a long weekend of stitching, great food, good company (with a little bit of retail therapy) in the heart of Mid Canterbury.

Our retreat will start on Friday night with VIP shopping and exclusive deals, drinks and nibbles at Annie’s Country Quilt Store. You will also have the opportunity to see the first showing of the Bernina 12 x 12 “Patched” Exhibition and select your viewer’s choice.

There will be plenty of sewing time on Saturday and Sunday at the Hotel Ashburton - bring your own hand or machine project, or perhaps purchase one of the new ones on offer! There will also be plenty of time to look over the displays, check out the demonstrations, and enjoy hearing from some of our guest speakers.

We hope you can join us for this special event, call us today to reserve your place.
