Color Flow Quilt Retreat 6 on April 20-24, 2027

Join Mitzie for the Jittery Wings Color Flow Design Quilt Retreat on April 20-24, 2027.

During this four-day retreat (with optional bonus opening reception on Tuesday night), you will have full access to Mitzie and her studio as you learn about color firsthand.

• Daily Lessons: Each day between 9:00 am and 10:00 am, Mitzie will lead a specific lesson to help improve your outcomes.
• • Day 1: Color Flow Theory in detail
  • Day 2: Value sorting your fabrics and blocks
  • Day 3: Controlled improv layouts
  • Day 4: Sewing a quilt top together

• Open access to her fabrics (solids) to curate your own personalized bundle of 24 fat quarters with her support. Her studio features large white design walls where you can spread out and curate your colors and final quilt layout.

• You get to select one of her controlled improv quilt patterns, and she will help you use your newly curated bundle to make it.

• Many participants have their quilt tops sewn together before they leave, and for 2027, she has added additional hours to ensure folks have time to do that. 

• The studio is open 9am-9pm Wednesday-Saturday during the retreat. 

• Jittery Wings Quilt Co., 1400 Main Street, Newberry, SC, 29108

Lodging:

• If you need lodging for the retreat, visit our Places to Stay page to review your options and book your own accommodations. Jittery Wings does not book lodging because everyone has different needs. On our Places to Stay page, we have provided places where Mitzie would stay. They each have their own style, flavor, cost, and taste of Newberry.

Meals & Shopping:

• Because everyone likes to sew on their own time, lunch and dinner are on your own, or you can make friends and go as a group. Many places will deliver to the Studio downtown, or you can dine at any of our local treasures in Newberry.

• There’s lots of fun and unique shopping in downtown Newberry. There are boutiques, antique stores, and The Quilt Werks, our local quilt shop.

Airports:

Mitzie travels a lot and can usually get a direct flight to Charlotte from most major airports in the USA. Taking an Uber from any airport to Newberry would be difficult and expensive, so she recommends renting a car.

• Columbia, 1 hour 5 minutes

• Charlotte, 1 hour 40 minutes

• Greenville, 1 hour 30 minutes

• Asheville, 1 hour 40 minutes
