Elevate your quilting skills in the White Mountains of New Hampshire
Our mission for New England Quilt Seminars is to present workshops by highly-sought-after professional instructors in a relaxed, inspiring environment. Small class size, comfortable work stations and individual attention for each student is paramount to our success. Student registration fees include a week-long workshop with one of our accomplished instructors, buffet-style meals starting with dinner Sunday through lunch Friday, and spacious accommodations at The Valley Inn in charming Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. Rates start at $1,449 for double-occupancy students. Single rooms, day-student and plus-one options are also available.
