Arcadia - Cutting Retreat
Arcadia Cutting Retreat
January 27-31, 2026
Start your Quiltworx Arcadia journey with confidence during this 4 1/2-day immersive cutting retreat designed to prepare you for success before the monthly Technique of the Month classes begin.
One of the biggest challenges in any large Quiltworx project is organization. During this retreat, you'll work alongside fellow Arcadia quilters as you prepare papers, sort fabrics, cut units, label components, and create a project management system that makes monthly construction smooth and enjoyable.
What You'll Accomplish
- Prepare and organize Arcadia foundation papers.
- Sort and inventory fabrics for your chosen colorway.
- Cut and label fabric units according to Quiltworx techniques.
- Organize project components for efficient monthly progress.
- Learn best practices for managing a large Quiltworx project.
- Ask questions and receive guidance before construction begins.
Why Attend the Cutting Retreat?
Students who invest time in preparation typically enjoy a more relaxed and successful Quiltworx experience. Instead of spending class time sorting fabrics and searching for pieces, you'll arrive at each monthly session ready to focus on techniques, construction, and creativity.
This retreat is especially valuable for first-time Quiltworx students, but even experienced paper piecers appreciate the dedicated preparation time, shared expertise, and camaraderie that develops around the cutting tables.
What's Included
- Dedicated workspace throughout the retreat.
- Guided preparation and organizational assistance.
- Arcadia project setup support.
- Access to experienced Quiltworx instruction.
- Community, encouragement, and plenty of quilting conversation.
Lodging at the Fox Country Quilts Retreat Center is included. Monthly Arcadia Technique of the Month classes are available separately. Arcadia Fabric Kits are available for separately.
Imagine arriving at your first Arcadia class with every paper prepared, every fabric labeled, and every component organized. That's the power of the Arcadia Cutting Retreat.
