To help attendees feel
connected, sprinkle
an organized game or
two throughout the day.
These can happen during
a scheduled video call
or on an attendee’s own
time, such as during a
sewing break. See a list
of ideas, right.
PLAN
ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITY IDEAS:
- Create a group Spotify playlist, asking all participants
to add favorite songs. Each attendee would be able to
listen to the playlist as they sew.
- Play Quilt Retreat Bingo. (For a free printable Bingo
card, go to AllPeopleQuilt.com/991.)
- Set up themed challenges—pajama hour or dress
in your favorite color, for example. Participants can
share pictures of themselves or show up to a video call
dressed a certain way.
- Plan a themed show-and-tell, such as antique or Star
block quilts, for one of the video gatherings.
- Choose to learn a new skill or technique. During a video
call, let attendees share their screens and demonstrate
or play how-to videos. Both AllPeopleQuilt.com and
YouTube have free how-to tutorials that can be shared
with others.

If all your attendees are local,
consider delivering a goody
bag to each participant’s
doorstep before the retreat
begins. The little gifts could be a
fat quarter, a handmade pincushion,
cozy socks, a packet of instant coff ee or
tea, or even a gift card to a
local quilt store. If your
attendees aren’t
local, think about
sending printed
invitations or
arranging a block
swap to capture
everyone’s attention.
