Almost Time

It's that time of the year - almost! Time to think about registering for the 14th Quilter's Retreat at Pictou Lodge. The magic date (for members of the Mayflower QG and its chapters) is March 25th. To ensure fairness no matter where members live we register by mail, therefore it is important to take your envelope to the post office and ask them to hand cancel it with the date clearly marked. We have had some registrations come in the past that have been mailed on the right day in a post office box but the envelope did not get processed till the next day or even later. So if there is a workshop you really want, take the time to get it hand cancelled! Don't be disappointed.

This is an exciting week for us At the March 21st meeting of the Mayflower Quilters Guild we will draw for the Retreat Raffle. One lucky winner will receive an all expense paid (except travel and supplies) to the retreat along with the workshop of the winner's choice. Have you sent your tickets in yet? If not bring them to the meeting. We will also be announcing the winner of the Avonport Scholarship for a Young Quilter. I am thrilled that we had 7 entries this year! I wish all 7 could come to the Retreat on a scholarship, they are all deserving. We are ever so grateful to Faye Brown and her store Avonport Disount Fabrics for their support of the scholarship.
