Stitching together a delightful variety of work time, instruction, delicious meals, and fellowship, it is no surprise that Camp Lebanon is one of Minnesota’s favorite destinations for quilting and scrapbooking. Weekend and mid-week sessions in the spring and fall give women many options for a high-quality retreat experience.
Fall 2021 Quilt Registration Notice:
Dear Quilt & Craft Friends,
Registration for Quilt & Craft officially opens Saturday, July 17th. Currently, we have spots available in Sessions A & E (along with some midweek availability in A, B, C, & D!). You are also welcome to register on the waiting list for Sessions B, C, & D.
Thank you so much for your support and help in this past year as we have navigated this challenging process, continuing to work through the lingering impact of COVID-19. We are so grateful to the many quilters and crafters who held money on account (more than $34,000!) or made donations to Camp Lebanon in 2020. Those who had vouchers on account were given priority to pre-book for Fall Quilt Retreats in 2021. Your support has carried us through these difficult times. We look forward to a return to “normal” registration in 2022!
Registration Opens on Tuesday, July 15 @ 7am!

2026 Theme "Cornerstone"
“Christ alone, Cornerstone…” that beautiful truth instantly comes to mind whenever I think about our theme for this fall’s Quilt and Craft Retreats. In a world that often feels uncertain and shifting, what a gift it is to gather together and be reminded that our lives are built on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ, our true Cornerstone.
This fall, come join us for a warm and meaningful weekend of creativity, fellowship, laughter, and encouragement as we discover and uncover solid truths found in God’s Word. Together, we’ll spend time “digging” into quilting and craft projects while also “digging” deeper into Scripture and the promises of our faithful Savior.
Whether you are an experienced quilter, a passionate crafter, or simply someone longing for a refreshing time away, this retreat is designed to encourage your heart and renew your spirit. Throughout the weekend, we’ll enjoy inspiring devotion times, meaningful conversations, and sweet moments of connection with other women.
As we sew, create, and share life together, we’ll reflect on the unshakable foundation we have in Christ — the One who holds us steady through every season. Just as a cornerstone provides strength, alignment, and stability to a building, Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone for our lives, our hope, and our future.
SUPPLY LISTS AND GUEST SHOP CLASS INFORMATION WILL BE SENT IN THE CONFIRMATION PACKETS.

Your choices will give you a quilt that’s uniquely yours while you gain a solid footing in foundational quilt skills. Instructors will be there to help through group instruction and personalized assistance.
Pattern: $10. Please pre-register for the class. The pattern will be mailed to you.
2026 Advanced Quilt Pattern: "Light and Shadow"
Think of rippling water as you play with color and value! Choose a variety of values and textures for “Light and Shadow.” Careful fabric placement to provide areas of high contrast and areas of low contrast will add visual interest. Accurate pressing, cutting, and piecing will make this quilt shimmer. To give you more time for relaxing and chatting, the pattern provides helpful instructions for organizing pieces and blocks.
