Threads of Time Creative Sewing and Retreat Center 207 South Buchanan Street, Danville, IL 61832

"Just spent a wonderful long weekend here! The owner, Cynthia, was knowledgeable and very straightforward about what I needed and didn't need to accomplish my creative goals. I love that she didn't waste my time or money. Because of that, I am a lifelong customer. In addition, the ladies I met who were also staying were wonderful! Just an amazing overall experience! I can't wait to come see you again! Thanks so much, Cynthia! You are a class act, know your stuff, and are so kind to share you experience and skills with all of us!"

"Threads of Time is AMAZING!!! Such beautiful fabrics and so many sewing and embroidery products available. The owner is a marvel. She provides incredible service and goes above and beyond to be helpful. The retreat center is a blast - it’s like my second home. I love this place!!"

"Threads of Times is an absolute gem! Everything you need from fabric, to notions to the 36 bed retreat center. Cynthia and her staff are wonderful, helpful and always willing to help out. Classes are well paced making sure no one is left behind. Recently in June I attended the Red/White and BBQ event class was great however my machine decided to act up, luckily I had a 2nd machine with me. At the end of the day Cynthia spent extra time when she could of gone home to stay and get my machine fixed, which I greatly appreciated. The retreat center is amazing, rooms are comfortable, kitchens have everything you need, sewing area tables with power sources built right in and all new chairs. If you need help picking out fabrics that go together like I do, Threads of Time is the place to go. It's a 2 hour drive for me however it's worth ever second of the drive. I've gone with friends and by my self and have always met new friends. Thank you Threads of Time for a great place to shop and retreat."

"I have been retreating for over 8 years at Threads and have had great experiences. I've made new friends that I would have never had the opportunity to met otherwise. I am impressed that when a retreater has machine issues, Cynthia stops and fixes our machines to keep us sewing. The retreat center is always clean and inviting. The water in the showers is always hot. When you turn them on you need to wait a minute. Cynthia and staff are always friendly and ready to help."

"I just read the review from Kelly stating the owner was rude and condescending and walked past without saying hello. I have been coming to this retreat for years and do not agree. Cynthia is one of the most caring and generous people. She is always ready to help. If she walks past without talking to us I feel she is on a mission to help someone or perhaps she is on the phone gathering information for someone else."
