On October 2-4, 2020, the Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild held its first ever virtual retreat. We are a guild of approximately 60 members who meet monthly in Abbotsford, BC, Canada. We had been planning for our 10th Anniversary retreat for over a year and were terribly disappointed when COVID-19 hit and we had to cancel. However, we are an industrious and determined group of quilters, and we were not willing to let a worldwide pandemic stop us from holding our retreat. Our committee began meeting in the late spring and drew inspiration and lessons from the Silicon Valley MQG’s virtual retreat in the spring of 2020.
