Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #112 October 2, 2007
Quilting Friends,
Some of you may have heard about the Orlando quilt show being canceled in 2008. That is true. Sad, but true. We will very much miss displaying our quilts for you! However, please understand that the Central Florida Quilters’ Guild presents the Orlando quilt show in the EVEN years. The ODD years will still see a quilt show presented by Florida Cabin Fever Quilters Guild:
"It was brought to our attention that there is some confusion over whether or not Florida Cabin Fever Quilters will be having our show next year. We are pleased to announce our show, “Quilt Fever 2009”, is scheduled as always for January 2009. It will be on January 23rd and 24th at the Central Florida Fair Grounds. We look forward to seeing you all there." - Trish Bowman, Show Chair
You may remember that I’ve listed a couple of longarm machines for sale in the past. Well, they were sold so quickly from those listings, that I’ve decided to include a regular Classified Section in this newsletter. If you have something sewing or quilt related to sell, consider an advertisement in this newsletter. There are over 1000 interested readers in Florida and beyond. The charge is $50 for your ad, which will include two listings (two consecutive newsletters) for a single ad. Please send your ad to ad@FloridaQuiltNetwork.com, and look for a reply from me with instructions for sending the payment.
As always, if you have email changes, let me know:subscribe@FloridaQuiltNetwork.com
