Quilting
Friends,
If you remember from last month I posted a
photo of a recent finish:
(click to enlarge)
I presented this quilt at my October Tips,
Tools & Techniques Club at The Sewing Studio. Cindy was in the audience and wasted no time! A few weeks later she sent me this photo…I
think I like her version better!:

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.
(once the holidays are over, I’ll start working on this!)
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.

From Sweet Darling Quilt Shop
in Lutz:
Since our Senior Giving Tree is
no longer in existence we feel we can’t do anything for those in need. Starting
December 1 we will be doing a reverse advent calendar. You can bring it in all
at once or stop in daily. Information will be posted on our website Tuesday,
November 29. Any questions please call the store. Gifts of food or money will
go to Helping Hands Food Bank in Wesley Chapel.

FROM
BROWARD QUILT EXPO
Get it Quilted Raffle and Fundraiser for
Hurricane Ian
|
|
We at BQE are deeply saddened by the devastation that Hurricane Ian left on the SW Gulf of our State of Florida. Our thoughts and prayers are just not enough. Each day the news brings more images that we really have no words… We want to help. This year we are donating 50% of the proceeds of the “Get it Quilted at the Show” raffle to Hurricane Ian Relief organizations. We are opening the raffle up now and will continue to raise funds until Feb 14, 2023. Two winners will be selected on Feb 15, 2023 and quilted live by Professional Longarmer Quilters at the Broward Quilt Expo. Thank you for your donation and for entering the raffle.
