Our annual retreat weekend will be January 18 - 20, 2019. and we have a new location!
Those of you who were coming to the 2018 retreat will remember HV Resort management decided to close for the 2017-18 winter season 2 months prior to our retreat there. This was after I signed a contract, FDQ paid a deposit and people had
registered to go. They gave us no compensation for the inconvenience and at the time could not tell me if this was to be an annual happening. I have not been contacted by them since our last retreat and so decided it was time to move on .
We will now be going to Interlaken Inn in Lakeville CT on the NY/CT border. Driving time from the Poughkeepsie side of Mid Hudson Bridge is about 1 hour straight out Rt 44E.

This is a fun long weekend to get away and sew till you drop! Bring your own projects to work on and whatever equipment you need (sewing machine, iron and board, extra light, etc.).

Double rooms are $350 inclusive per person for the weekend. Single is $500, triple is $300, quadruple is $270. This includes 2 nights stay, 2 hot breakfasts, 2 dinners, a snack Friday and Saturday, coffee, tea and water available 8A - 10P all days, use of workroom and all tips and taxes. Lunch is not included but there are several options.  All rooms have fridges.

Please consider joining us for what promises to be a fun time. We have confirmed space for up to 30 people. A possibility of using a second workroom cannot be confirmed yet. Reservations with a deposit of $100 must be made by Nov.14, 2018.
Please make the check out to INTERLAKEN INN. Balance is paid by each individual at the time of checkout.

Non-members of FDQ are welcome and may register starting Oct.12.  Some people choose to go a day early or stay a day later. This is not par t of the FDQ retreat so anyone doing this makes her own arrangements. Contact the Inn at 1-800-
