Local quilters who wish to drive home each night may do so. Your retreat registration includes reception, all lunches, dinner cruise, and farewell breakfast as well as a chartered bus trip to the Shabby Fabrics Showroom for an exclusive event.
We understand that unexpected situations can arise. For this reason, we offer the option to transfer any payment (partial or full) to a future event or to another quilter.
All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to events@shabbyfabrics.com. Please include the reason for your cancellation, and indicate either the future retreat you would like your payment applied toward or the name of the quilter to whom you wish to transfer your spot.
If a life event prevents you from attending the retreat and you are unable to transfer your spot or attend a future retreat, you may request a refund up to two weeks prior to the start of the event. Please note there is a $100 non-refundable fee to cover credit card processing and administrative costs.
Cancellations made within two weeks of the retreat are not eligible for a refund or transfer. If, during that time, you (or a family member, friend, or pet) become ill and cannot attend, the entire retreat cost is non-refundable and non-transferable. Likewise, once the retreat has begun, if you must leave early for any reason, the unused portion of your payment cannot be refunded.
