Minnesota checking in...
It is getting close to Quilt Show Season in Minnesota – our guild’s show is scheduled for March 23 and 24 in New Ulm. If any of you are within driving distance, please consider coming~ Karen McTavish will be at the show both days doing a lecture and book signing, we have incredible door prizes - the person in charge of that part of the show is amazing! We will have great food, guild displays with our community projects like Quilts of Valor, Snuggle Quilts for babies in need, a Stitch of Hope Quilts that we are making for the Oncology unit at our local hospital, a gorgeous opportunity quilt, vendors, demos from vendors and guild members… Oh, and lots and lots of quilts on display. Our guild even has a website now (work in progress!) that you can check www.prairiepiecemakersquiltsnewulmmn.org. As we get the demo schedule set, that info will be added to the website.It is also quilt retreat time...Our guild has two each year at a wonderful site less than 20 minutes from my house. It is run by Catholic sisters (Schoenstadt), they make homemade breads and soups, etc., the building is on a lake with sleeping accomodations for lots of people. There were so many signed up for the Feb. retreat that we have had to split it into two groups, with each group staying for two days and one night. We are all getting things finished for the quilt show! I know I will be doing a binding marathon over the next several weeks. Another retreat with a group of friends is scheduled for early March - this will be the fifth year that we have gotten together and it is always fun. That one is three days and two nights and some 0f us sew into the wee hours of the morning.
Any other shows coming up? Joleen in MN
