Fast forward a few years and many prayers later, and we’ve built our very own quilting retreat center. Ken and I finished K Bar K Sew and Stay in April of 2021, and are proud to say we built the retreat ourselves!

About K Bar K Sew & Stay​

Hi, my name is Kassie Bolander. In 2016, I went to my very first quilt retreat. I came home and told my husband, Ken, that we should open one of our own. The timing wasn’t right for us, and I’m pretty sure he thought I had lost my mind.

The retreat offers new accommodations that feature large baths and showers, comfortable beds, a living area with leather furniture, and a beautiful full kitchen/dining area! The sewing room features plenty of space for sewists, design boards, and wonderful lighting that eliminates shadows!

"Aside from wonderfully hospitable hosts, this retreat center offers a beautiful natural setting, a well thought out physical plan with three bedrooms with four single beds and bathrooms in each room. There is a handicapped shower in one bedroom. The kitchen is complete with double ovens, a gas cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, Bunn coffee maker, and a French door refrigerator. Add hummingbird feeders, goats, a dirt tank, a caliche road for long walks, a shaded patio, and you have West Texas ambiance at its best. Come on out and sit and sew!"
