Sewing Workshop and Class with Jane Foster

Asilomar Retreat and Conference Grounds on Monterey Bay in California 

 Come and Sew With Jane!

The Surf and Sand building has been the sewing studio for the last few retreats.  Three sides of the room are floor to ceiling glass walls.	This room is so large everyone was able to have separate tables to work on.
Asilomar's grounds	A boardwalk runs thru the sand dunes at Asilomar and will take you to the ocean's sandy beach.

We will be able to see the monarch butterflies in October when they return from Alaska and the Canadian Rockies to winter in the trees of Pacific Grove Sanctuary.  Asilomar is just minutes from this sanctuary.  We might even catch the children's parade celebrating the monarch's annual return.	Monterey, CA is just minutes away.  You might enjoy shopping, dining, or exploring John Steinbeck's famous Cannery Row

Jane Foster's sewing retreat is held on the Asilomar Retreat and Conference Grounds on the shoreline of the Monterey Peninsula in California.  Asilomar occupies 107 acres with housing, a dining room, and conference rooms.    The fee for the sewing retreat covers housing  (two people per room), meals and Jane's wonderful instruction. Students are able to sew, design, relax, take walks, visit the tide pools, shop, and socialize with friends. The beach, flora, tide pools and ocean are magnificent.  Usually the students plan and arrange to take an afternoon side trip to shop in the local fabric stores in Pacific Grove or Carmel. 

Students bring their sewing machines and work on projects that yearn to be started or finished.  Asilomar provides a room for sewing between the hours of 6 am and midnight, and students enjoy the time without interruptions from TV or telephone calls.

Meals are served family style in the dining room, and the food is wonderful and plentiful.  They also have a special request area for people with specific food needs (such as vegetarian).   The grounds are beautiful and quiet,  and the ocean is across the street. The rooms are simple. There is a gift shop with really great coffee and a few snacks about a block from our sewing room. 

These events are SO successful that Jane has planned two retreats for 2008.  There was a spring 2008 retreat, and now there will be a fall 2008 retreat (October 5th thru October 12th).  Choose to join Jane and give yourself a special treat.  Call her now to reserve a space.  These events are already filling up.  Students from past years are eager to go again.
