WORKSHOPS and BUS TRIP
In January 2001, the Art League of Marco Island will have a gallery show of quilts made by the
Tennessee Valley Quilters, a guild of 700 members in east TN. There will be four daylong workshops given by their members, from
January 3 through January 6. (subjects will be announced shortly). There will
be a reception and lecture, open to the public, on Sunday, January 7th. Lois
Brater, chair of the event has asked me to contact our guild, since she does
not "do" e-mail. She will be
happy to talk to anyone needing more info, and will gladly send along any more
information you might want.
Lois, who lived in Oak Ridge for many years, has a longtime
relationship with the TN Valley Quilters, and has planned several trips for the
guild. This summer, they are going on a two-week
tour of New England to see quilts and to shop. The trip will leave from
Knoxville, TN, and there are a few vacancies on the bus, if anyone is interested. I just decided to
add this info, I do not know the dates until Lois is back in town. They can contact Lois Brater at
941-394-1829. (She is currently out-of-town, will be back 4/08)
