The Sunshine State Quilters
Association is the 21st century version of a quilting bee. Our
members are involved in every aspect of quilting from doing,
learning and teaching to sharing their love of quilting. Our
organization offers meetings with classes, a newsletter and the
ability to make contact with guilds and other quilters in every
part of the state. Please browse our website, contact member
guilds for information and visit our vendors. It will bring you up to date information on what
is happening in the state.

Hello all SSQA Quilters!
We have another great event coming up in November – an
SSQA Retreat (Nov 14-16).
A great time to get away from it all and have some
quilting time without having to fix any meals. We have a
great national speaker, Mary Sorenson, who will lecture at
the Annual Meeting during retreat.
Have you seen the TV show “Survivor?” A lot of people
love the show, but even if you don't watch it, we are
taking the idea and relating it to quilting and will have
some activities based around that in our Survivor:
Quilting Style theme for the weekend. You can be a
participant on a team or a cheer them on while on the
sidelines. Either way, it will bring us lots of laughs,
and isn't laughing great for your health and well being?
Don't forget to send in your retreat registration form
(use the one included here or print one from the SSQA
website).
See you in November and Quilt On!
Piecefully,
Dori Hawks

SSQA has
published “A Quilters’ Guild Operating Manual.”
Authored by a quilting lawyer
whose career involves non-profit organizations, this
document will answer your organizational questions, whether you
are a new guild, one with a history, or just a group of quilters
(not even guild) worried about business or legal issues. This
manual is available to SSQA members for free.
To join SSQA as
an individual member, see the Membership
Form.
Read about the benefits of joining.
To join SSQA as a guild (or
as a group of quilters, whether you are formally organized or
not), print out, complete and send the guild
membership form. VERY IMPORTANT:
