Quilting Friends,
What
a great husband I have, he gave me a FQN website for Christmas! Check it out at www.FloridaQuiltNetwork.com. Note that I have a Calendar Page, and if you
click on the newsletter number on the right side of the list, it will take you
to the full description in whatever newsletter is listed (He did good,
huh?)
If anyone is planning a bus trip to Paducah in 2002, could you please send me the info? I’ve had several request for this.

REQUEST
FOR 9-11 QUILTS
United
We Quilt is a group of quilters based in Vermont who are serving as a
clearinghouse, matching families who lost loved ones on 9/11/01 with volunteer
quilters who will make a memory quilt in celebration of the loved one's
life. As of 12/01/01 we have had over
100 family requests and we have matched 70 with quilters. We need many more
emotionally resilient quilters as we are committed to matching every family
requesting this with a quilter and we receive more requests daily. This is a
long term commitment requiring patience and the ability to listen and be there
for a grieving family member (even from a distance via e-mail or phone) and to
plan with them what should be on their special quilt. It is also among the most
satisfying quilting you will ever do as the families are extremely
appreciative. For more info contact Jane at: Janeatmil@aol.com. or at:

A NEW QUILT SHOP IN CENTRAL FLORIDA
Dear Quilting Friends,
I have exciting news to start
off 2002. Quilts & Other Comforts
will be opening a retail store in Mt. Dora, Florida in February. Many of you have fond memories of the store
that we used to have in Wheat Ridge, Colorado back in the early 1970's. It was one of the first full-service quilt
stores in the country and was run by Bonnie Leman and her family.
We are in the process of
remodeling an old 1920's house that will be the site of the new store. We are painting, papering, sanding,
landscaping, and decorating. I have had
a ball picking out products that I think quilters will want and like. When we open the doors we expect to have
over 2,000 bolts of fabrics, and hundreds of books, patterns and supplies --
and that's just to start!
Mt. Dora, Florida is located
about 27 miles north of Orlando and is just about one of the most charming
little towns you will find anywhere. It
is full of antique stores, art galleries, restaurants, and inns. It is surrounded by lakes and parks and even
has its own lighthouse. Mt. Dora hosts
numerous events throughout the year including craft, antique, art, and bicycle
festivals. What I find most appealing
about Mt. Dora is what it doesn't have in its old town: not one fast food restaurant and not one
chain store. You can read more about
Mt. Dora by visiting this site: http://www.mt-dora.com/
I will be moving to Mt. Dora
this month to finish setting up the store, so I'm obviously a little panicked
right now. It's a challenging time--but
this has been a real labor of love. It
will be so nice to meet customers face-to-face and to hear exactly what you are
looking for. I hope that the store will
help to make our catalog even better.
I will let you know how things
are progressing and will try to get some photos on the site for you to view
soon. I hope that you will all have a
chance to visit in person, but if not, you can always visit our quilt store
on-line or we will deliver it right to your mailbox.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUILD

The
Gold Coast Quilter's Guild will meet on Tuesday, January 15, 2002, at 7:30 pm at the Boca Raton Community Center,
