Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #146
October 5, 2010
Quilting Friends,
I got so excited last month about announcing the quilting cruise, that I named the wrong port. We’ll be sailing out of Port Canaveral, NOT Port Everglades. It’s a 7 day cruise starting May 1st, and I’ll be teaching my own original design. Please take a look at the brochure and give Gloria a call to reserve your spot, it will be a wonderful opportunity to relax, rejuvenate and SEW!
If you live in the Central Florida area, I invite you to St. Mary Magdalen’s Community Fest. We have it all: 24 scrumptious food booths, entertainment, BINGO, a beer garden, lots of arts & crafts, rides, games, a chance to win a new car, hole-in-one golf, a kiddie area (with a carousel), and it all happens the weekend of Oct 22-24. More info here.
Don’t forget we are still building the best LongArm Quilter List in Florida! Take a look and make sure your favorite LAQ is listed.
To get a complete, organized, hotlinked listing of all the upcoming shows, retreats, workshops, shop hops, exhibits, etc, please visit the calendar page
