SOYO Retreat

SAVE THE DATE

January 18-21, 2027

Hilton Garden Inn, 815 East Mall Dr., Rapid City, SD

January's chilly weather invites us to settle in and accomplish great new (and old) quilts at our annual winter SOYO (sew-on-your-own) Retreat. It is always fun to see what all of us are up to. Gather your pins, rulers, scissors, fabric and machine and join us for a weekend of fun.

We will be at a new location this year at the Hilton Garden Inn. 

Doors will open on Monday, January 18 (time to be determined). There is absolutely no early setup.  Doors will be open at 7:00 am, Tuesday - Thursday and will be closed each night at 11:00 pm. 

Cutting stations and irons/ironing boards will be provided. Bring your own extension cord or power strip, rulers, and rotary cutters. Be careful how much you bring; space is limited. Some areas in the room may be chilly, so wear layers.  

Registration will open about November 1 

Cancellation Policy: 50% refund of registration fee for cancellations before December 13; 25% refund for cancellations between December 14-31; no refund of registration fee if cancelled after December 31.

Massage

Sitting at a sewing machine so long can make your shoulders ache. A massage therapist will be available on Tuesday and Wednesday; $26 for 20 minutes (includes tax). Sign up for a time when you check in.

Meals

Coffee, tea, water, and snacks will be provided each day.  No food is allowed in the SOYO room. You may bring a lunch from home and eat in the lobby area. No outside restaurant food may be brought in.   

Breakfast is available from The Garden Grill & Bar at the Hilton Garden Inn daily from 6:00-10:00 am. Dinner is available from 5:00-9:00 pm.
