Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #243
www.FloridaQuiltNetwork.com
January 6, 2019
Quilting Friends,
Lots of charity sewing opportunities this month:
Website: WWW.TWENTYFIVEANDFOUR.ORG
Email for more info: Mommasaidsew.lisa@gmail.com
More info from Lisa: “Sewers can be certified by mail (email me for details), or by class. If the distance isn't too great, I will come to teach a class to verify a group. This works well for guilds and sewing group.”
In case you missed my last note, FQN is celebrating 20 YEARS !! Yep, our first Florida Quilt Network newsletter was emailed out to maybe 20 or so people in January 1999. I was simply looking for a way to connect Florida quilt guilds together so we could share national teachers when they came to town. FQN has grown since then, of course, publicizing all kinds of quilting events in Florida, as well as (on the website) detailing quilt guilds, quilt shops and longarm businesses in Florida.
You can read any of the past 242 newsletters in the archives.
I’m very proud of what FQN has become with your help. We’re hovering at about 4000 interested readers, who hail from all over the world, but mostly in Florida. All expenses come out of my pocket, but the ads for machines that run occasionally in the newsletters help with those expenses.
If you’re a fairly new reader of this newsletter, you may not know that the Calendar page on the website is a quick way to view upcoming events all over the state. Give it a look-see.
Happy Quilting,
Mary-Jeanine
PS: I’d love to hear from you, so drop me a line sometime.
