Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #191

Quilting Friends,

Another 2 weeks of traveling brings me back to this newsletter a little latter in the month than I like to publish.  Oh well, summer in Florida…what can I say?

Last month I asked you all to check the listings on the Guild Page to see if your guild  info was up-to-date. And you responded in droves and I so appreciate that.  It’s nice to know someone actually reads this little missive at the top of my newsletters, LOL.    Take a look now and see if I got it right.

Now its time to check your favorite Quilt Shop info: does it contain all the right info and even more important, is your favorite shop even listed on the Quilt Shop page?  Summer travels are not over and I’ve been told this Quilt Shop page is invaluable to those who shop hop on their own.  I do not delete shop listings that have closed their doors, because website visitors might think I just don’t have it listed and then might waste gas looking for the place.  Instead I stamp the listing with a Closed {date} for clarity.  I hope that helps you in your travels!

From a reader in Deltona/Deland: I have lots of bolts of fabric that I bought from a lady who had a quilt shop and was moving away and had to get rid of it.   If you are near Daytona to Debary area come and see it.  It is first rate Kauffman, Benertex, P B and J etc.  $3.00 a yard
Give us a call: Ruth at 386-561-9594 or Nelle at 386-561-9594 

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!
