Country Patches Retreats
The Spring Stress/Stash Buster was a great success. We had 18 ladies come to sit, quilt, eat and get some of those UFOs finished. Four newbies to retreat were there and rumor has it they will be returning....YEAH! The ladies were quite successful at completing projects and we had some awesome Show & Tell.
Fall Retreat
September 10-13, 2009
Camp Gilmont
Gilmer,Texas
Fees for retreat are $175.00 for 4 days or $120.00 for 3 days. (Rates subject to change.) Space will be limited to 28 people. If you are interested, you must pay a deposit of one-half of the fee by our May guild meeting with final payment due by the July guild meeting. All un-filled spaces at that time (July) will be opened to other guilds/quilting buddies on a first-come/first-serve basis. Fees are non-refundable after our July meeting. During our Fall Retreat we will have our optional secret sister and 1/2 yard fabric exchanges. More info later.
Thomas wanted to let the guild know the plans have been approved and the
beginning stages are in the works for the new convention center at Camp Gilmont
which will accommodate up to 40 participants. They are looking forward to a May
2009 completion day. He remarked he would very much like to see one of his
favorite groups christened the new facility. So let's think about it when we
make plans for 2009 retreats.
Thanks and stitches,
Queen (Laronia)
