"Thank you, Carla and Jim, for a lovely stop on my way to Alberta. I will be back with friends for a creative stay. An awesome retreat space in beautiful surroundings." - Gail Heller; Owner/operator of Erie Quilt Art
Needleart is not only for the adults, as I had the pleasure of having my two great nieces, Elise and Sloan, along with two of their friends, Fiona and Shae stay with us for a few days in the loft. Much to my delight, this group of young people crocheted up a storm.
"All four of us had a great week. We didn't make any quilts, but we crocheted, painted, and made our own custom version of Monopoly. The Loft was a great place to spend a fun week."
- Sloan, Elise, Fiona, and Shae
