About Us

The Perfect Place to Create or Get Away with Friends

Come join us in beautiful Mantiowoc, WI, at Quilting in the Valley’s Lakeside Quilt Retreat venue.  The 2,800 sq ft luxury apartment sits above the Manitowoc store in the historic Schuette building.  The warm and inviting apartment is perfect for those seeking a getaway with friends — whether you plan to spend your time chitchating and creating or exploring the shores of Lake Michigan or the shops of Door County.

The retreat rental will offer all the comforts of home plus things only a quilter can appreciate like a Laura Star Smart 1 ironing system, Martelli cutting stations, and Arrow sewing tables.

Manitowoc is located about an hour away from both Door County and Green Bay, making this the perfect rental for non-quilters as well. How about a couples’ Fall weekend featuring football for the guys and quilting for the gals? This is an adults-only retreat rental, guests must be 18 years of age or older.

Call 815-410-5068 for more information.

Lisa Furleigh, Your Host

Dreams do come true, and no one dreams bigger than Lisa Furleigh, who started her first quilt shop just seven years ago in a tiny building in downtown LaSalle, Illinois. QITV is now six shops strong and growing! The Manitowoc Lakeside Retreat combines Lisa’s entreprenuerial spirit with her joy of seeing fellow quilters share their passion for creating with others.  We hope you enjoy your time here and look forward to seeing you soon!

Quilting Amenities

Laura Star Smart Ironing System

Quilters are always on the hunt for the perfect iron — and we’ve found it.  The Laura Star Smart iron system steams your seams flat and the active board helps keep your fabric in place as you iron.

Martelli Cutting Stations

We love the Martelli cutting mats so much, they’re the only cutting mats we use in our shops.  Easy-to-read measurements and angle lines allow you to measure and cut in one step, while keeping your lines straight.

Arrow Gidget II Sewing Tables

The Gidget II tables provide a 40 x 20″ flat workspace and can hold up to a 40-pound machine.  The eight tables are paired with back-friendly Arrow sewing chairs for a comfortable sewing experience.

Shopping is Just an Elevator Ride Away!

Forget something? Looking for inspiration?  Quilting in the Valley’s newest shop is just steps away.  The shop will be open during normal business hours, seven days a week.
