ALL rooms/cabins are shared, and only lower bunks are being used. Each room/cabin has a bathroom with walk-in shower. 

If you specify a roommate when registering, you will be rooming with that person as well as sitting next to them in the sewing space. If you do not have anyone you are traveling with, you will be placed in a cabin or room with others that are not traveling with someone.

Camp Lutherhaven will provide a pillow, pillowcase, blanket, top sheet, bottom sheet, bath towel, hand towel, and wash cloth. If you require more linens, please bring them from home. They do not exchange linens throughout the week.

This is an all inclusive retreat, but local quilters who wish to drive home each night may do so. Your retreat registration includes your room/cabin, all meals and after dinner activities, as well as a chartered bus trip to the Shabby Fabrics Showroom for an exclusive event.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served each day starting with dinner Sunday evening and ending with breakfast Friday morning. 

Food services are provided by Camp Lutherhaven; they cannot accommodate food allergies without prior notice. (After registration, you will be asked to provide complete a Dietary Allergies form.)

• Vegetarian: Meatless options are generally served at each meal.
• Gluten free
• Celiac: Lutherhaven is unable to provide food for those with Celiac. Please plan to bring your own food. Refrigerators are available in each of the sewing rooms.

Camp Lutherhaven is not suitable for individuals with mobility issues. The paths and walkways are uneven, and the terrain is hilly. 

Click the big, green ribbon that says RESERVE YOUR SPOT and select the date for the retreat you would like to attend. (If you are not already signed in to your Shabby Fabrics customer account, you will need to sign in. If you do not already have a Shabby Fabrics account, you will need to create one.) Follow the instructions on the sign-up form and continue until you have received confirmation of your registration. PLEASE NOTE: Once you begin the registration process, your spot will be reserved for only 15 minutes. Be sure you are prepared with payment information before beginning the registration process.

If you would like to register another person for the same retreat date, that person will need to create an account and sign up separately.

There are limited rooms/cabins that are suitable for a couple. Please email events@shabbyfabrics.com to see if there is space available prior to signing up.

If your spouse would like to be part of the activities and sew, they would need to pay the registration fee. If your spouse would like to come but not sew, they would still need to pay the full registration fee. 

We understand that unexpected situations can arise. For this reason, we offer the option to transfer any payment (partial or full) to a future event or to another quilter.

All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to events@shabbyfabrics.com. Please include the reason for your cancellation, and indicate either the future retreat you would like your payment applied toward or the name of the quilter to whom you wish to transfer your spot.

If a life event prevents you from attending the retreat and you are unable to transfer your spot or attend a future retreat, you may request a refund up to two weeks prior to the start of the event. Please note there is a $100 non-refundable fee to cover credit card processing and administrative costs.

Cancellations made within two weeks of the retreat are not eligible for a refund or transfer. If, during that time, you (or a family member, friend, or pet) become ill and cannot attend, the entire retreat cost is non-refundable and non-transferable. Likewise, once the retreat has begun, if you must leave early for any reason, the unused portion of your payment cannot be refunded.

Please bring any specialty rulers you might require for your project and a small rotary cutter if you like one next to you at your machine. We do suggest cutting your project PRIOR to arriving at the retreat; that way you can jump into sewing right away.
