Retreat
Every fall we have our annual quilting retreat. This is usually 3-4 days where we
have the opportunity to spend unlimited time sewing. We usually have a mystery quilt
that you can participate in or you may bring your own projects to work on. We also
have other fun activities to promote fellowship among the participants.
Secret Pal
Secret Pal is a fun way to make a new friend and get to know a fellow quilter. After
filling out a profile it is given to a quilter and you are assigned a profile of another
quilter. Then every month you give your Secret Pal a gift according to the answers on
their profile and another quilter will give to you....ANONOMOUSLY.....of course.
After a time, currently 8 months, Secret Pals are revealed at a meeting and thank
you gifts exchanged.
