It is our Prayer that you and your family are healthy and safe.
This Corona Virus sure has thrown a monkey wrench into our schedules and has had a devastating effect on our business and on our livelihood so far this year.
As you may already know, the Needle in a Haystack Retreat has been our home for over 28 years and we have been hosting retreat workshop weekends for the last several years.We so miss having you attend. It is just breaking our hearts. So many of you have made wonderful friendships meeting new people here and then return as friends to come back year after year. We truly love having you here with us.
We were ordered closed by the Governor, on March 17, 2020, as a non-essential business. In the past 8 weeks we have rescheduled many of our events, just to find out that the government mandated closure has not yet been lifted. Once again, we have to reschedule.
At this date we feel that it is best to just hold tight. As soon as we get the "Okay" to operate again we will then be in contact with you to work on re-scheduling into the future—even if we have to reschedule into next year. This pandemic will not last forever and there will be a point where we will all enjoy the sewing time, friendship, fellowship, love, and laughter that we have been accustomed to.
Please be patient and kind. We are not in a position financially to offer a refund and your retreat or event will be rescheduled.
We pray that you are healthy, happy, and safe and that you are finding peace and joy in Sewing, Embroidery, and Quilting.
We are grateful for your patronage, your patience, and your kindness while we work through getting retreats and events rescheduled.
All our Best,
Judy, Jeff and Megan
