The Fall 2024 Retreat is now full, but we are adding names to a waitlist.
Our 2024 Fall Retreat, September 20 – 22, 2024 at the FFA Leadership Center in Trafalgar, Indiana, is now full, but we are adding names to a waitlist! Plans change, so often spots can open up. Please sign up for the waitlist below, and indicate which day or days you would be interested in joining us. No payment is needed now. We will contact you if a spot opens.
Retreat is open to IMQG members only.
Our spring retreat is happening September 21-24, 2023 at the FFA Leadership Center in Trafalgar, Indiana, starting at 9 AM on Thursday and ending at 2 PM on Sunday. We’ll have the entire Fellowship Hall space to ourselves for sewing, socializing, snacks, and shenanigans! There is space for 13 overnighters to have their own beds and 8 single-day retreat-goers on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
To register, please follow the PayPal prompts:

To keep members as safe as possible while we are eating, sleeping, sewing, and laughing in a communal space, the IMQG board has decided on the following protocol to prevent the spread of COVID-19. All attendees must do the following:
— Test for COVID infection before attending the retreat, at least the morning of their first day of attendance. Testing a few times in the two weeks before the event is encouraged, especially if there has been a suspected (or known!) exposure. Antigen tests done at home are acceptable. Many insurance plans reimburse for at-home tests or provide them free of charge.
— Skip attending the retreat if they test positive within 10 days of their arrival. The guild will refund your money and miss seeing you but there’s always next time!
— Be willing to make concessions for others’ safety if they are experiencing symptoms of a cold or other contagious respiratory illness (e.g., wear a surgical mask when not eating or drinking, sleep separately). This is especially courteous during a cold & flu season when many people have weakened immunity to other infections after experiencing COVID.
— Test for COVID infection 3–7 days after attending the retreat and share the results with the other attendees.
