EVENT FAQ

Q. What time should I arrive on Friday?
A. Events don’t kick off officially until Friday at 5:30pm, but if you find yourself in the area earlier, feel free to stop by the shop starting at 10am. Please note, due to space constraints, there will not be availability in the shop on Friday for stitching.

Q. Do I need a car?
A. There will be a shuttle to take everyone to and from the shop on Saturday and Sunday. The plan is for the Shuttle to leave the venue on the quarter hour (11:15AM, 11:45AM etc.) and leave from the shop on the hour and half hour (i.e. 11:00AM, 11:30AM etc.). If you have your own car, you are more than welcome to go to and from the shop at your leisure. The shuttle holds up to 13 people. Ubers are also available in our area.

Q. Can I connect with other attendees ahead of the event?
A. Yes! We will be setting up a Facebook group where we will share important information and attendees can connect about any logistics, etc.

Q. What should I bring?
A. Please bring: Any projects you want to work on or need help kitting. The lighting in the venue is good, but if you require extra lighting for stitching - please bring any lighting you have WITHOUT cords. For everyone's safety, we can not accommodate corded lights. We will have cord free lighting available for purchase at the venue. Please bring a covered cup for drinking beverages. We wouldn’t want anything to spill on anyone’s stitching! Most of all…bring your willingness to meet new people and have FUN!

TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you ALL! You flossettes are the very best. So happy I got to attend this retreat a second time. My first retreat ever was the PIO 2023 in Grosse point. I was in overload with the newness of literally everything and everyone.This time around I got to see a tiny bit of the city, try 2 restaurants (which were delish!) and see your new place. Sooo bright, welcoming, and filled with the things you love. It is especially nice to have the staff help with any and every question. You are a FAMILY and felt so comfortable in your home and blessed that you welcomed me into your life. "

"Your spring retreat was fabulous with so many great people to meet! The team at WF has done a terrific job of building a wonderful community – I love your videos and other outreach. It is so nice to work with the team at the shop - I enjoy giving you my needlepoint business. The excitement and interest in the retreat is well deserved!! "
