Dawn to Dusk Mini Retreat - Unleash Your Creativity
Join us for the ultimate Guild Mini-Retreat. Imagine a full day of uninterrupted sewing, sharing, laughter, and creativity – all with lunch and dinner provided. No cooking, no chores, just you and your sewing machine.
Why you can’t miss this:
It took a few decades, but Bobbie Gentili finally found the right outlet for her lifelong creativity and love of mathematics when she was introduced to modern quilting. She now spends every waking moment designing quilt patterns, curating beautiful fabrics, and teaching quilters how to level up their skills, so they can rock any quiltmaking challenge.
Bobbie’s patterns feature bold, geometric designs, playing with curves and long strips to give a sense of movement. She finds inspiration in science, nature, and geeky culture.
When not quilting, Bobbie Gentili moonlights as an audiobook narrator. She lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where her husband, two children, and cats enjoy any scraps of her attention that can be stolen from quilting and audiobooks.

Mary Holmes is a passionate fabric artist and speaker who has spent over 30 years transforming textiles into captivating art. Refusing to be boxed into one style, Mary has mastered traditional, modern, and art quilting alike. Her diverse work has earned multiple quilt show ribbons and she has been featured in Canadian Quilter magazine. Driven by the philosophy that quilts are true works of art rather than just crafts, Mary delivers inspiring presentations that challenge makers to break the rules and encourages quilters to step "out of the box" and unlock their own creative potential.
