Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #12

September 15, 1999

 

Hello and whew!  Prayers really do work.  Floyd was a non-event, unless you were the one who had to evacuate.  I can’t imagine trying to figure out what to bring and what to leave!! 

 

Anyway, you might be interested to know that QuiltFest in Jacksonville is a go.  See below for the official word:

Dottie Durst dbld@mediaone.net of QuiltFest says:

 

We here in Jacksonville are pleased to tell you that the Quilt Show is going to be held as advertised.  Floyd hit us a glancing blow, but with diligence all the quilts for the show were housed in a hotel where they were safe and ready for the show.  Our vendors are on their way to Jacksonville as we speak.  Come prepared to have a good time with us.

 

We are having the show at: The Morocco Shrine Auditorium 3800 St Johns Bluff Road

Jacksonville, Florida.

 

Friday from 12:00 til 6:00

Saturday from 9:00 til 6:00

Sunday from 12:00 til 5:00

 

Sunday morning there will be a Breakfast Brunch at 9:00 am followed by a presentation on Antique Quilts by Alan Kelchner We hope to see you at the show. We are ready for a good party with you other quilters.

I received an email from a woman in Puerto Rico looking for Quilters there.

 

If anyone is aware of a quilting group of Latinas in Puerto Rico, please email me.

Does anyone out there know of someone who mends and/or cleans quilts?  There is a call for one.

 

Thanks, the need exists for someone willing and able.

My daughter, Gayle Ropp of Vienna, Va. is coming to give a Trunk Show at our guild meeting

on March 21st.  We are trying to get her booked somewhere else.  She is associated with Jenny Beyer, is on her Seminar Staff for 10 years. She teaches Spoon Quilting and also different ways of quilting your quilt.  She has a wonderful Trunk Show.  If interested in having her at one of the quilt group (somewhere within 100 miles from Leesburg), please contact Donna Barnes,

9006 Oakcrest Circle, Mt. Dora, Fl 32757  (352) 735=9105 E-mail: Barnes9876@aol.com

 

I am Gayle’s mother, and I will brag and say that she had a beautiful trunk show.  Her quilts have been featured in the Traditional Quilter magazine (July issue) and will appear in the Fons and Porter magazine (November -December)  issue.  Contact me, if you wish Picardquil@aol.com.  Gayle and her husband are leaving Friday, Sept. 10th for 13 days in Hong Kong.
