Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #180 Quilting Friends, I’ve been traveling to lecture and teach at various quilt guilds around the state this month, so I welcome all the new readers to this newsletter. And because I no longer belong to a guild, I enjoy the guild meetings very much, just to hear and see what you’re up to. So thanks for the invitation to your guild and enjoy all the latest Florida quilting news! If you are a guild program chair, I invite you to take a look at my classes and lectures. I love to travel and I love to present my Stashbuster Lectures. I have many different ones with no duplicates!
