Needlework Hideaway

November 13 - 16, 2008

The Needlework Hideaway is a new retreat to be held twice a year at the Red Apple Inn on Eden Isle just outside of Heber Springs, Arkansas. Needlework Hideaway is located in the central part of Arkansas in the beautiful Ozark Mountains at Greers Ferry Lake. The Red Apple Inn is a classic resort and country club built in the 1960's. You are welcome to bring your spouse along for a fun weekend - they will stay busy with fun activities (golfing, fishing, hiking, reading, resting, etc.) while you get to stitch with friends - old and new!

Prices

The price includes three nights lodging, reception on Thursday evening, lunch on Friday and Saturday and our own private stitching areas. You may choose between one-day classes, two-day classes or sit-n-stitch (the class fees for the classes are not included in the price of the retreat). Sunday morning, we will have a fun project so you will have the opportunity to study under all teachers - no kit fee for this fun event! And we will have lots of fun door prizes and goodies for every stitcher!

Friday and Saturday evening meals and all breakfasts are on your own. Heber Springs is about a 10-15 minute drive and has many great places to eat and shop. And, naturally, you can enjoy your meals at the Red Apple Inn and not have to travel into town! (Dining room attire after 6pm - no denim)

Single (one person per room)	$425 per person
Double (two people per room)	$290 per person
Triple (three people per room)	$260 per person
Quad (four people per room)	$230 per person

*The Single room with Spouse price includes the room for the stitcher and spouse for three nights, the reception on Thursday evening for the stitcher and spouse, lunch on Friday and Saturday for the stitcher, but does not include the lunches for the spouse. If your spouse would like to join us for lunch on Friday & Saturday, please add an additional $25 for the two meals.

**We currently have a "commuter" rate available of $150 for the whole weekend. Included in that fee is the Thursday night reception, lunch on Friday & Saturday, access to the stitching room, ability to take a class if you desire (class fees are extra - for both commuters and residents), shopping in the "needlework boutique" and some more extras that the residents will be receiving. Sunday will include a fun project sponsored by all four teachers, but also has a shortened day due to our departure. Also available is a $50 per day fee if you would like to come for only one day.

Rooms for triples and quads include two double beds.

A $75 non-refundable deposit is due upon registration with the balance due 6 weeks prior to the retreat.
