MORE FUN!!!
A few people asked me if/how we were going to identify themselves and frankly - this being my first rodeo I hadn't planned that far.
Had a good (I think) idea. I'm posting it here and I'll send a PM to all that have indicated they will, or might be attending.
Each of us is to make a name badge out of fabric with your screen name and your first name on it. You can embroider it, piece it, or just write your name with a black marker.
Here's the fun part.
FABRIC BADGE BINGO!!!!
The first person to find the identical fabric in the store that your badge is made out of WINS!!!
What do you win?
A fat quarter of your choice donated by the good ladies of The Quilter's Garden!!
BUT WAIT ... THERE'S MORE!!!!! MORE FUN!!!
FREE DEMO'S!!! FREE DEMO'S!! FREE DEMO'S!
Once again the ladies at this shop (Beth & Carol) continue to cement the fact that Tinker & I (mostly Tinker) picked a great shop to start our meet and greet. They will be demonstrating various products and and projects for us. One is a demo of a nifty new ruler, a table runner project, a demo of how to use Shannon fabric, and more!! 20 Minute demo's for us to enjoy.
So ... to sum up the day.
We meet at 10:00 AM at the Quilters Garden for shopping, Fabric Badge Bingo, free demo's, and a tour of their retreat center. Sometime around lunch we walk 1 block to Kramer's Kitchen for a casual lunch, chat and our own show and tell. After that we have a choice of visiting another Quilt shop (The Old Timers - 3000 bolts!!) up the road, or the Farm Market just outside of town. Or both!!
I'm pretty excited and I hope we get lots of quilters here.
Look forward to meeting everyone!!!
