Escape from everyday life, enjoy the camaraderie of fellow fiber artists, and form lasting friendships.
The Blueberry Ridge Retreat is especially designed for all devotees of fiber art and focuses on how quilting relates to you as an artist.
Connect to your own creative self, find inspiration in your work, explore original ideas.
Daily short demos and optional round-table evaluations will guide you in better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses as an artist.
Family-style meals in the Pearisburg Main Cabin encourage informal conversations and relaxation. Your personal worktable in the spacious and well-lit Conference Center is waiting for you.
While at Blueberry Ridge Cabins and Conference Center at Mountain Lake, absorb the peace and beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, go bird watching, or walk the multi-use trails of the 2,600 acre nature preserve.
