Escape to the charm of Lava Hot Springs for a creative getaway designed for quilters who love learning, laughter, and community! The Sister’s Retreat is a special quilting experience hosted by sisters Becky of Sew Wise Quilter and Tracey of The Busy Bee Quilter—two Studio 180 Certified Instructors who bring the perfect blend of precision, creativity, encouragement, and fun.
Set in the relaxing atmosphere of Lava Hot Springs, this retreat is more than just sewing—it’s a chance to step away from the everyday, connect with fellow makers, sharpen your skills, and be inspired. Whether you're joining us to tackle a new project, learn Studio 180 techniques, or simply enjoy uninterrupted sewing time with friends, you’ll find a welcoming community ready to cheer you on.
Expect great teaching, plenty of laughter, a little sisterly banter, and the kind of creative energy that fills your cup long after you head home.
Come stitch, laugh, learn, and retreat with us—because quilting is even better with sisters. 💕

Pick the option that works best for you—we’re all about making quilting adventures doable!
🧵 Pay in Full
Love checking things off your list? Same, Becky approves. 😉
Choose the Pay in Full option to reserve your spot with one easy payment and then start counting down the days until stitching, laughter, and a little sisterly chaos in Lava Hot Springs!
🧵 Monthly Payment Plan
Prefer to spread things out a bit? Tracey approves. 😄
Our monthly payment option lets you secure your retreat spot now and make smaller payments over time, making it easier to say YES to the getaway you deserve.
A couple of important details:
✨ Your retreat spot is officially reserved once your first payment is received.
✨ Monthly payments will be automatically processed according to the payment schedule selected at checkout.
✨ Final payment must be completed prior to retreat attendance.
✨ Because retreat planning includes lodging, space commitments, and preparation, payments are non-refundable according to our retreat cancellation policy.
Basically? Becky brings the spreadsheets, Tracey brings the fun… and you just need to choose the payment plan that makes you happiest. 💕🧵
Love to get things checked off your list? We get it! Our Pay in Full option lets you reserve your retreat spot with one easy payment—no monthly reminders, no tracking due dates, just smooth sailing from here.
Your retreat is paid in full, your seat is saved, and all that’s left is to start dreaming about sewing, laughter, and time away with your quilting friends. 💕🧵✈️
We know that planning a retreat should feel exciting—not stressful—so we’ve created a payment plan to make joining the adventure a little easier! 💕✈️🧵
Here’s how it works:
Joining us after the payment plan has already started? No worries—we’d still love to have you! To keep everyone on the same payment schedule, your first payment will include your deposit plus any payments that have already passed.
For example:
If you sign up after 3 payment dates have already passed, your first payment would be:
$100 deposit + 3 monthly payments ($360) = $460 due at registration
After that, your remaining payments will continue automatically on the regular monthly schedule until your retreat is fully paid.
💡 Why do we do it this way?
Simple! Keeping everyone on the same billing schedule helps us manage retreat planning smoothly—and ensures everything is paid before the fun begins.
Because the only thing you should be worrying about is what project to pack first! 😉🧵✨
