Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #177 June 9, 2013
Quilting Friends,
The summer lazies have hit me big time. Every morning I wake up and say “I really should work on that newsletter” and whoosh goes the day before I know it. On the flip side, I’m getting lots of sewing and reading and walking in. So there you go.
Teddy Pruett is trying to locate quilters, guilds, or groups in the Apalichicola area. If you are in that area, or know someone who is, please let her know at aprayzer@hotmail.com. She has been approached by a state agency to assist with a wonderful project, but it can't be accomplished without the help of quilters in that region.
Looking for a new sewing machine? I have 3 machines for sale: · Bernina 360 with all hoops and case for carrying never used
· Viking 6 thread serger new
· Viking Diamond sewing/embroidery machine all hoops and case for carrying. New, never used, no downloads on machine, books and programs included
If interested please call or send an email to themaksems@msn.com to talk about the machines and prices.
Thanks, Mary Kay Maksem
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!
