Quilting Friends,

As soon as I returned home from our summer camping trip, I got to work on this quilt, designed by Lori Holt.  I’ll be teaching a ‘Quilty Fun Quilt-Along’ this fall and winter.  Each time we meet, we’ll work on another row together.  I used Lori Holt’s new line of fabric: ‘Prairie’, isn’t it beautiful?  I’m looking forward to this project, I hope you can join me at The Sewing Studio for some quilt-along fun!  The 4Q class calendar should be live in a few weeks.

 

The Jacksonville Quiltfest is almost here! Doors open Sept. 15 at 9 am and go from 9-5 daily, Sept. 15, 16 and 17.  General admission tickets are $14, with Seniors $1 discount on Thursday, and military with an ID $1 discount any day. Parking is $5.  Although cash is accepted at the event, the PARKING and TICKETS may only be purchased with credit or debit card, no cash. 

 

[Editor’s note: this will be the first time since the early 90’s that I will NOT be at the Jax show….take some pictures and buy a fat quarter for me!]

 

Are you a quilting teacher in Florida?  I’ve had several guilds ask me for ideas for programs, teachers who don’t need to fly to travel.  Shoot me an email to be added to a future list.

 

 

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.
