Quilting Friends,
Well, if you’re a
mom or dad with kids in school, May is an incredibly busy month with all the end-of-the-school-year
activities. Enjoy and don’t forget to
get into your sewing room, too! I look
forward to slightly slower paced summer months. Between trips to Iceland and a camping trip to NC, I’ll have a
quilt camp at my home for neighborhood kids and adults. Should be fun!
As always, if you
are having problems getting my newsletter, you can take a look at it on my
website at http://www.floridaquiltnetwork.com/ I also have a very handy Calendar page where
all the events are cross linked and hot linked to more info elsewhere.
