Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #136 November 2, 2009
Quilting Friends,
I’m trying not to become a total quilting blog fanatic, but it’s hard. There are some really solid bloggers out there, sharing an amazing amount of quilting information, photos, tutorials, videos, etc. Here is a blogger who designs a new free-motion quilting design EACH DAY, and a video to go with it. I’m so impressed: http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/

Hello Everyone,
The Textile tour to Japan is just around the corner. Most of the group of 22 people leaves for Kyoto on November 2nd; we return on November 17th. We are pulling out our suitcases and deciding how much empty space to leave for the goodies we hope to bring back.
That said, last evening Bonnie and I chatted about our May tour to France. Four spaces remain to be filled for our May 2010 tour. We've made additions to our web site and urge you to take a look. I've added a link to a PDF file, so you can easily download a brochure for the tour. Why didn't I think of this sooner? I've attached it above.
And I've put on the web site an October "sneak peek" with details about the Paris neighborhood in which we'll be staying. http://jeannemillstours.com/sneakpeek_oct09.php
Come, join the group and enjoy the fun of visiting Paris and Normandy with our small group.
