Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #175 April 1, 2013
Quilting Friends,
Well, the big rush of great quilt shows is over, but we still have a few stellar shows coming up soon. I picked up lots of inspiration for upcoming quilts; we have some amazing talent in Florida!
If you or someone you cook for is Gluten Free and/or Dairy Free, I’ve collected a few of my favorite GF/DF recipes on my recipe page. Notice I say collected not developed. There are some great food blogs out there and I’ve given credit so you can look around at a few of my sources too.
Here are a couple of announcements that aren’t time stamped, so I thought I’d put them here at the top:
Beginning May 3, 2013 Juanita Yeager will beginning offering small group classes in her studio. Class size limited to 6. For a list of classes, cost and supply list, please contact Juanita at juanitayeager@gmail.com
The Sarasota Modern Quilt Guild is growing and meeting monthly on the 3rd Saturday. All levels are welcome. We are planning charity projects and other activities. To join, contact us at sarasotamodq@yahoogroups.com. To get a complete, organized, hotlinked listing of all the Florida upcoming shows, retreats, workshops, shop hops, exhibits, etc, please visit the Calendar. Happy Quilting, Mary-Jeanine PS: I love to hear from you, so drop me a line sometime!
