| What is the difference between a Quiltapalooza® Retreat, Quiltapalooza® Event and Quiltapalooza®Lite? |
AQR's Quiltapalooza® Quilt Retreats allow for lots of time on your own to work on the projects of your choice. These are held at an offsite location and provide the perfect setting for days of sewing, relaxing and meeting new friends.
AQR's Quiltapalooza® Events are structured workshops with Guest Instructors that feature a project or new skill to learn. They perfectly combined classroom with the Instructor and eventing on your own sewing time to apply what you have learned. These are also held at an offsite location for a multi-day learning experience to remember.
AQR's Quiltapalooza® Lites are held at in our educational center off our quilt shop with a small group of guests. (12-14 max). There is not a specific project unless specified in the listings so our guests have day of sewing on the projects of their choice AND access to the shop after hours.
NEW for 2026 - AQR's Ultimate Quiltapalooza® will be a combination of our Retreats, Events and MORE. See the listing for more details.
