DreamCastle Quilts
The Home for Quilt Retreats on Maryland's Eastern Shore
 Welcome to DreamCastle Quilts We are a unique company offering small, intimate quilt retreats for quilters of all abilities. Attending a retreat at Pieceful Cottage in Deal Island, MD is your chance to enjoy a truly relaxing get-a-way and a view of the most stunning sunsets over the Chesapeake Bay. Qualified quilt teacher, Betty Dietz, who has been quilting and teaching workshops for over 15 years,
leads workshops designed for every quilter
from beginner to advanced. Projects range from simple
mystery quilts to the more complicated drafting and
stitching of circular flying geese.
The cottage has comfortable accommodations for six quilters, so gather a group of friends for a girl’s weekend away. Click here for more information. Betty also offers her workshops and lectures to local guilds.
Electric Quilt Retreats &
Classes
Get away from it all with an ELECTRIC QUILT ESCAPE © at "Pieceful Cottage" in Wenona, MD. Plan a get-together to meet your on-line friends, or bring your bee. There is plenty of room for up to 6 quilters. Bring your laptops loaded with EQ5 or EQ6.
For
quilters who already own either EQ5 or EQ6, but are
short on time, consider taking a private lesson to help
you master this easy quilt design program.
DreamCastle Quilts provides an Electric Quilt design service where you can plan a custom quilt with our help. A three hour design consultation using the computer-aided Electric Quilt (EQ6) design program will get you started on your next project. You will have color copies of your project along with templates, paper piecing foundations and approximate fabric requirements.

Pieceful Cottage
 Our vacation home on the Eastern Shore, Pieceful Cottage is available for rent on a weekly basis all year round. Located in the small, secluded fishing village of Wenona, in Deal Island, MD, Pieceful Cottage sits just 100 yards back from the Chesapeake Bay. Nearby Deal Island Wildlife Refuge is a real birder’s paradise. You can hike the marked trails or paddle your canoe or kayak through the marshes. There is a free public boat ramp, located just behind the cottage, in picturesque Wenona Harbor, a real waterman’s harbor where historic Skipjacks still sail out for their daily catch of oysters. The fishing in Tangier Sound is well known, with anglers bringing in a large variety of fish, including Striped Bass (or Rockfish). Summer is crab season, when you can enjoy a day on the water, catching your own Maryland crabs, and bring them home for dinner. Quilt groups are always welcome to come for a stay at Pieceful Cottage. We provide irons, ironing boards, a cutting board and table, fold-up work tables, chairs, electric cords and a workroom large enough for 6 quilters. The owner is a quilter and will help with information on local quilt shops.
We are your #1 source for information on DEL-MAR-VA quilt shops and links to other important quilt sites and information on the Eastern Shore of Maryland
