Hideaway info
Hideaways are for those who just need to get away, and have some quiet time and a lot of space to work. It allows a quilter/crafter to spread out, really dig into a project, and get ‘er done.
Hideaways only require ONE person to reserve a space, and maximum is as many as you are comfortable with, However, 8 is the recommended limit.
Long-arm rental (for those who are qualified) is available during a hideaway.
Cost: Starts at $40/day per person unless you have a membership. A ‘day’ means dawn-to-dusk or 24 hr. day (for example 1 pm to next day 1 pm). Reserve 2 ‘days’, 3rd day is $10/person to extend the hideaway.
