Retreats
If you are hosting a retreat in our area please contact us as we like to donate a "door prize" to other organized groups.
Thread & Paper, as a store, hosts 4 super fun retreats every year at Gardom Lake Bible Camp and Retreat Center. The retreats are always a BLAST, you get to sew/quilt for 4 (or 5) days while the cook prepares you a delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Thread & Paper retreats are the ONLY retreats that we offer 25% off (of your purchase in the store or online, during the retreat) to everyone attending.
Registration opens for each retreat on the last day of the previous years retreat. Our retreats are consistently full (normally within a few days of registration opening) so the sooner you register the better.

General Retreat info
When you attend our retreats, you will be given a 25% discount on anything in the store or online during the retreat, this is the ONLY retreat that we offer this to. This discount starts on the Wednesday before the retreat and ends on Saturday for online orders.
We have a Facebook page to try to give people a chance to communicate, share projects they might have started at the retreat or anything else you might want to share, it’s called “Thread & Paper Quilt Retreats” so please join us there if you are on Facebook.
You can arrive for your retreat on the first day anytime AFTER 10am, your retreat fee includes dinner on the first day as well as all 3 meals on Friday and Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. If you start on Wednesday the fee also includes all 3 meals on Thursday. This means you will need to bring your own lunch for your first day (for some it'll be Wednesday and for som it'll be Thursday) We would like to have everyone cleared out by 3:00 on Sunday afternoon.
The price for our retreats is $400 if you start Thursday and $515 if you start on the Wednesday, you will not need to decide on the length of time you are staying until about 6 weeks before the retreat and we will contact you via email then.
When you sign up, you will be required to put down a $50 deposit. Our retreats have consistently been full, so if you are interested in coming get your deposit down ASAP. You will be invoiced for the remainder of the balance one month before the retreat.
Most of the ladies work on their own projects, but sometimes we do a mini-class or two.
There are optional games each night, show and tell after each meal, machine servicing / repair available, and a massage lady!
We will have a group quilting upstairs and a group quilting downstairs, and there will be some people staying in cabins and some in the lodge. The cabins are lovely and they have their own bathrooms. Due to such high enrolment we cannot take requests for which room or floor you'd like, but we will likely be able to have you sit and room with your friends if you are coming as a group or if you know someone else attending.
Please notify us of any important dietary issues.
The food is delicious and the company is great, everyone who is out there is there to have a good time please help us spread positivity while we are out there.
Please call or email with any questions info@threadandpaper.com
