Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #74

Quilting Friends,

 

Well, if you’re a mom or dad with kids in school, May is an incredibly busy month with all the end-of-the-school-year activities.  Enjoy and don’t forget to get into your sewing room, too!  I look forward to slightly slower paced summer months.  Between trips to Iceland and a camping trip to NC, I’ll have a quilt camp at my home for neighborhood kids and adults.  Should be fun!

 

As always, if you are having problems getting my newsletter, you can take a look at it on my website at http://www.floridaquiltnetwork.com/  I also have a very handy Calendar page where all the events are cross linked and hot linked to more info elsewhere.
