A Bit of Information
About copper mountain
WEATHER
The average maximum daytime temperature in Copper Mountain in September lies at 17.6°C (63.68°F). Bring a thick blanket because during the night it can cool down to temperatures below freezing. The average minimum temperature goes down to around -1.9°C (28.58°F) (often the minimum temperature is noted at night).
Rainfall during September is moderate with an average of 37mm (1.4 inches). There are generally around 8 snowy days. So what to wear in September? Bring a rain jacket (umbrella?) in case it rains during your stay. Plan on layering your clothes, as some days or part of the day it can be nice and warm, while other times it can get quite chilly.
Bring a hat, scarf, light gloves and socks. These small additions can help keep you just warm enough when that fall breeze comes blowing by and allow you to stay outside and enjoy the views. Light gloves are perfect for after the sun goes down to keep your hands nice and toasty.
Planned Activities
My retreats will always have FPP patterns that I have written myself, along with the fabric required to finish your quilt top. I will also have a small group project for us to do together. Fabric and everything you need to complete this project will be provided.
All activities are totally optional.
All quilting projects are totally optional.
You are free to bring anything you desire to work on. My main goal is to grow our quilting community through friendship.

What Other Quilters Say ...
Shannon W.
"When I started watching Yvette on YouTube, I was a pretty new Quilter, having only starting dabbling during the pandemic. The magic of FPP was mystifying and Yvette made it look so simple! I was a sceptic at first, sure I would be the one person that wouldn’t get it when I first joined her group Piecing it Real. I am so proud to say I was so very wrong! Yvette’s staged her lesson’s from beginner to intermediate and beyond, complimented with amazingly detailed videos to keep you motivated and feeling supported the whole way. And should you ever have the chance to take a class with her - jump at it!! Yvette is a bundle of fun, a joy to learn from, and has become a dear friend in the process! Here’s to many more incredible patterns and lessons from Yvette!!"
