The Waldo Emerson Inn in Kennebunk, Maine is a wonderful place for a Quilters Retreat.
Enjoy a weekend of honing your quilting skills in this historic town and Inn. The goal of your innkeepers and operators of Mainely Quilts, John and Kathy Daamen, is to give you a restful time nestled within their hospitality.
The goal of your instructors, Judy Smith-Valley, Kathy Lee and Dusty Pazar is to teach methods useful to the beginner through intermediate Quilter and give confidence and inspiration. We will provide a materials list after registration.
Plan to bring your own machine. (We do have a few to borrow, if you need to.)
To the experienced quilter - bring those unfinished projects and together let's get them done. A great way to take over the Inn with your quilting friends at a terrific savings.
Call us for availability and rates 207-985-4250, bring a friend and share your room.
Waldo Emerson Inn is a wonderful recollection of the past. You enter directly into the 251-year-old keeping room with its hand-hewn oak timbers hung with dried flowers, pewter, and copper. The Inn offers four guest rooms each with handmade quilts, antiques, working fireplaces and private baths.
During your stay, please stop by Mainely Quilts located in the carriage house next to the Inn.
