VOLUME 2017—ISSUE No. 3 July August September 2017

A few words from Monica—

As I’m writing this it’s only May but it surely feels like summer! We had a wild winter and now we already have sun—lots and lots of sun. Life is great! Many of you heard that I got engaged on my birthday this past December. Thanks for all your good wishes. Patric and I haven’t set a date—we tell everyone maybe 5 years from now on a beach in Bali...Even more exciting news in my life is that my daughter, Maria, and her husband, Andre, are expecting my third grandchild! It’s a girl and she’s due on August. I can hardly wait. The shop is full of fabric as we get ready for our summer retreats at the Hyatt. We do have a few spots left in week 4 (August 18, 19, 20.) The fee is $380 and that includes your quilt kit and most meals. The hotel is an additional $120 per night. This year’s theme is A Day At the Circus. Please call and ask for me if you’d like more information The Quilter’s Run is just around the corner. We’re having lots of fun putting things together for the California Camping theme. And the Bead Hop is coming up—the theme is “Bands.” Can you guess which band I’ll be???
