Oscarsborg Spring 2025
Join Daisy at the WarmFolk retreat on the island of Oscarsborg from April 25-27, 2025! The historical fortress features beautiful views, trails, and beaches that create a magical backdrop for our event. The modernized barracks offer luxurious accommodations, and the remodeled, historic training building is perfect for our sewing adventure.
This exciting weekend includes two workshops that are perfect for beginner and advanced quilters alike. The two projects will be the SkyMap quilt block and Braided Nested Curves. Both projects are PERFECT for using scraps or jelly rolls, and both projects are an easy introduction to machine foundation paper piecing. The schedule offers instruction on repeat so participants can engage with both projects or choose one to work on throughout the weekend.
There are also several opportunities for you to explore the island or enjoy some handwork on the balcony overlooking the Oslo fjord. Don't miss this chance to relax and get to know the other retreat attendees!
Pay in full or message me with request for a deposit to reserve your spot, and review the cancellation policy carefully.
