Elevate your quilting skills in the White Mountains of New Hampshire

Our mission for New England Quilt Seminars is to present workshops by highly-sought-after professional instructors in a relaxed, inspiring environment. Small class size, comfortable work stations and individual attention for each student is paramount to our success. Student registration fees include a week-long workshop with one of our accomplished instructors, buffet-style meals starting with dinner Sunday through lunch Friday, and spacious accommodations at The Valley Inn in charming Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. Rates start at $1,449 for double-occupancy students. Single rooms and plus-one options are also available.

In 2024 we'll be offering four workshops in the spring (April 28 – May 3) and back-to-back sessions of four workshops each in the fall (September 22 - 27 and September 29 - October 4). Workshop details and supply lists will be available soon. For now, use the weblinks below to explore our upcoming artist-faculty. Registration for spring opens Friday, December 1, 2023. Fall registration begins Friday, February 2, 2024. Due to limited number of seats for each workshop, waitlists are available for every instructor, as cancellations (however unfortunate) do happen.
