Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #228

September 30, 2017
Quilting Friends,
Isn’t this an adorable tablerunner (click on the image)? I saw it made up at a quilt shop in my travels this summer and had to make one for me. My name is Mary-Jeanine and I collect snowmen. We’re carrying the pattern (Topsy Turvy Snowmen) at The Sewing Studio.
I know I say this every fall, but there are more and more great looking events happening every fall. Used to be two or three, and now I see 24 this year!! And then, for Florida Quilt Show Season (what I call our first quarter) there are plenty as well. I would like to suggest to those who schedule these things…take a look at the Calendar page and find a weekend where they aren’t five quilt show on the same weekend like in February. Some of us like to go to as many shows as possible!!
If you’re a fairly new reader of this newsletter, you may not know that the Calendar page on the website is a quick way to view upcoming events all over the state. Give it a look-see.
Happy Quilting,
Mary-Jeanine
PS: I’d love to hear from you, so drop me a line sometime.
