May Retreat at Shalom Center:  Prelude to Summer, May 13-15, 2022  

Join your fellow guild members for a weekend of stitching at the Shalom Center in Dubuque, Iowa on May 13-15, 2022.  Late spring is a great time to finish up those projects begun in the winter before switching over to summer themes and colors.  It will be a nice peaceful weekend in which to visit with people you haven’t seen in a while due to Covid and the winter weather.  Just you and your fellow stitchers, no meals to worry about and away from the chores of home!

The Shalom Center offers us single rooms, five meals and a large room for stitching.  Meals are served cafeteria style (breakfast 8am, lunch 12pm, and dinner 5:30pm).  There is a cold beverage machine available to us and coffee, ice water, and various flavored teas (for hot tea) will be offered.
