The 2027 KPQG Retreat will be held February 19-21, 2027, at Homer’s Land’s End Resort. To attend, complete the 2027 Registration Form found in this newsletter. The Quarter Deck will be available for retreat sewers to set up and sew starting on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, after 1:00 pm.
You must be a paid 2026-2027 member of the Kenai Peninsula Quilting Guild in order to
register for and attend the retreat. Be sure to renew your membership! Only registered
attendees may set up and sew in the conference room during the retreat.
Retreat packets will be available to those who have renewed their membership and submitted their retreat registration with payment. For those who are not present that have met this criteria, we will email these within 2 weeks following the Annual Meeting on October 3, 2026. If you do not use email, we will make special arrangements to get the retreat packet to you. The retreat packet will include a schedule of events, fabric requirements for the mystery quilt, and block information, along with additional details for retreat.
At the annual meeting, if more than 60 registrations have been received, we will then have a drawing for the 60 seats, putting everyone else on a waiting list. People on the waiting list have been able to attend the retreat in the past; circumstances change where many times seats open. The final date to register for the retreat, t-shirt, or request a refund is January 1, 2026. We will be drawing for one scholarship from the general membership at the October meeting. This covers retreat fees, t-shirt and 2 nights at Land’s End!!! Patty Nyholm will be hosting a Buy-Sell-Trade table this year. Karen O’Leary will be in charge of the block exchange.
Call Land’s Ends at (907)235-0400 or 1-800-478-0400 to make a reservation and be sure to mention you will be attending the KPQG Retreat on February 19-21, 2027. The hotel block for quilters is open. If you are planning on attending, make room reservations early for the best pricing! If something comes up, you can always cancel your reservation.
The cost of the retreat remains at $150.00.
Every effort is being made to hold the retreat registration fee to $150. We’ve obtained a list of food prices, and they have risen considerably. Even though we are in the initial stages of negotiation, we’re hopeful that a solution will be found. You may notice that the cost of t-shirts has been increased to $30. Our goal is to break even on the t-shirts, and their prices have increased.
