Join Us at Our Next Meeting!Retreat at Lake Yale
Tuesday May 15 -- Thursday May 17, 2012
Plenty of sewing space!
Motel-style rooms!
No cooking - 6 meals included!
Tons of fun for all quilters!
Our mid-week retreat allows you to run away and still be back
home for the weekend.
In My View Block Contest!
Get the pattern when you register ... Viewers’ Choice award plus a
chance to win for each block you make!
Fat Quarter Fun!
Bring some fat quarters to add to the Giant Container (already
well-stocked). Guess How Many ? to win a prize for the
closest number. Each fat quarter you contribute gives you a chance
in the drawing. Divided into lots of 25, there are plenty of chances
to win...maybe more than once!
~Bring some to contribute to the
Lotto & Guess How Many, plus 4 - 6 for the Game.
Show & Tell Night!
We want to see what you’ve been working on! Don't be shy!
Tops, finished quilts, bags ... you bring it, and we’ll have quilt
handlers to items up while you share. At last ... a Show & Tell when
you’ll have plenty of time afterwards to talk to the makers and
exchange ideas!
Daily Demos
Learn four new tricks without
a full class commitment or too much time away from your own
quilting.
Raffle Quilts
You may bring your guild’s raffle quilt with its own stand
and sell tickets ... Lake Yale is supposed to get 10% of the sales.
That’s for you to work out.
COST: $140 for SSQA members $165 for non-members
(sewing space, double room, 6 meals)
Register by March 1 to guarantee your space!
