Hamilton Hotel, Hamilton Missouri

Di, Tracy and April have combined their years of quilting and hosting and attending quilt retreats to put together an event we guarantee will be enjoyable, relaxing, fun filled, intimate and informational. You will come away with a new lease on your quilting life, as our retreat is designed for quilters of all ages (that is if they’re 18 or older). You will meet up with old friends and make dear new friends from all over. Quilters are the warmest, most giving, caring, creative people on the earth! Feel free to wear your slippers, quilt in your jammies, stay up late or get up before the birds and just quilt and have a great time! Whether you have threads stuck to your comfy clothes or like to dress a little fancy; we have a space for you and you are a welcome addition to The 3 Amigas Quilt Retreat!
