Using QOV fabric we will make block kits and add them to TAQG goody bags and then collect or have the Guilds make a QOV (Quilt of Valor)

Spring Retreat INFO:
3/15/2018
Good Morning Ladies,

We are just a week away from Retreat time and I hope everyone is as excited as I am......

so far this is what I have for the the Friday lunch

Peggy Broccoli Salad

Pat B Chicken Salad

Donna B A couple of Quiche (yummy)

For the Massage Therapist I have

Elizabeth 1 hour

Debbie Pie 30 min

If I have missed any emails on the food or massages please feel free to set me straight.

I have a couple of ladies who are bringing 2 teapots ea and I have 2 so I think I am good with the teapots, for those who might not enjoy a spot of tea,

we will also have some spiced cider mix, hot chocolate and a bottle of wine for your enjoyment.

A couple of ladies have volunteered to bring extra tea cups to share for those that may not have one, so please don't go purchase one.

I will have some finger sandwiched and some cookies (since I didn't think anyone wanted to eat rocks aka lesa's scones)

Peggy has offered to bring an extra portion of her broccoli salad to add to the Saturday tea. Please feel free to bring your favorite finger food and enough to share, but please do not feel obligated there will be plenty this is a retreat not a competition........oh wait but we will be having a prize for the top 3 hats, I guess that could count as a competition, they will be judged on the originality, but mostly how fun or funny they may be, remember to keep them under wraps until tea time and be prepared to model them.

Lastly don't forget your tea to share I have some little bags for you to receive your tea bags from each other in.

Don't forget all of your sewing projects looking forward to seeing what everyone is working on..

Let me know if I missed anything

Until next week....Happy sewing,

Lesa
