Sew Powerful normally conducts one or two sewing retreats each year. Retreat participants enjoy time together making projects specific to Sew Powerful. While building new friendships, participants expand their knowledge of Sew Powerful, sew purses, learn new techniques, spend time in the Word, enjoy great food, and have fun talking and laughing together. Co-founders Jason and Cinnamon Miles, typically attend and retreat participants find it is a great way to get to know them personally, have one-on-one conversations, and learn about Sew Powerful in more depth.

Learn More About Quilt Shows

We love finding people who are passionate about sewing for a good cause. What better place to do this than at quilt shows that attract hundreds of people who sew, have lots of fabric, and are looking for a way to use their God-given talents to help make the world a better place.

Since 2017, when Sew Powerful first exhibited at the Sewing and Stitchery Expo in Puyallup, WA, we have been a presence at major shows in Houston, San Jose, Paducah, Branson, Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, and even internationally at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, England. We now exhibit at regional shows too and our many volunteers often introduce Sew Powerful to new purse makers at less formal events as well.

If you know of a show that would be a good fit for Sew Powerful or if you would like to volunteer to work in the booth at an upcoming show, check out our Volunteer Opportunities page.
