Threads of Times is an absolute gem! Everything you need from fabric, to notions to the 36 bed retreat center. Cynthia and her staff are wonderful, helpful and always willing to help out. Classes are well paced making sure no one is left behind. Recently in June I attended the Red/White and BBQ event class was great however my machine decided to act up, luckily I had a 2nd machine with me. At the end of the day Cynthia spent extra time when she could of gone home to stay and get my machine fixed, which I greatly appreciated. The retreat center is amazing, rooms are comfortable, kitchens have everything you need, sewing area tables with power sources built right in and all new chairs. If you need help picking out fabrics that go together like I do, Threads of Time is the place to go. It's a 2 hour drive for me however it's worth ever second of the drive. I've gone with friends and by my self and have always met new friends. Thank you Threads of Time for a great place to shop...
Read moreMy non-quilting friend and I were driving from N Ill. to Houston, TX with the Quilt Travelers Book in my lap. We drove some distance out of our way to see this place. And we were NOT disappointed! It started out an elder care home and it has become a delightful warren of supplies, fabric, well-appointed work rooms and gracious bedrooms. People come from miles away to shop, learn and sew. Missy and Pam helped us through our confusion as to where things were located and each time we turned a corner there was MORE!!! It was wonderful. What a selection and how cleverly it was displayed. My friend found some fabric she simply had to have, as I knew she would. We will definitely be back and I would love to take some classes there. Unfortunately, for us, the commute would be a bear! Loved it, loved...
Read moreI visited Threads of Time about a month ago with a local guild to stay at the retreat center. I have to say I was a bit nervous only because this was my first retreat and I didn't know what to expect. I can tell you by the end of my stay everyone made me feel like I was family and a guest staying at their home. Cynthia and Harris really have gone out of their way to welcome me and I can't even begin to tell you how amazing this place is! I find myself wanting to make reservations and go have a sew weekend on a daily basis. Some would say I am addicted, but in all reality this is just a great place to spend time with others that enjoy sewing and quilting as much as you do. Its like an extended slumber party and I never want it to end! Thanks again and I will see...
