Celebrating Quilters
This year at Fall Retreat I want to celebrate YOU! I want to celebrate your accomplishments, individually and collectively, as quilters. You give so much to the community, and each other, as a group and individually. So this year our theme is CELEBRATING QUILTERS.
To help us accomplish this, we need to hear YOUR story. Do you belong to a group that donates quilts? Do you donate quilts individually? Tell us about who you donated to, the circumstances leading up to this donation? How did it make you feel? We would love to know what you have done with your quilts. We want to hear it all.
Lisa Johnson is gathering this information. @lkj.kelson@gmail.com
Remember:
NO pistachios, NO rosemary, NO perfumes
