NEW! A bus trip is being organized to Alisa Craig, Ontario, for the Irish Quilt Show. The trip is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25. The trip fee of $150 includes entrance to the show, the gala and dinner with the Irish, entertainment, one night's stay at the Stone Willow Inn at St. Marys, Ontario, breakfast brunch, and a stop at the large Sew Elegant quilt shop in Port Huron, MI, on the way home, and transportation. There will be vendors at the show. There is also a quilt shop called Cotton-by-Post in Ailsa Craig. Cottton-by-Post is responsible for bringing the Irish to Canada. Last year, they brought an African quilt show, and the year before a Russian quilt show. Both were wonderful.
YOU MUST HAVE A PASSPORT FOR THE TRIP! There are two (2) kinds, one is only good for Mexico and Canada ($40) and the other is good for world travel ($110). This can be done at the post office. If you want to go on the trip, you will need to pay half of the fee ($75) by the May meeting, and the rest at the September meeting.
The trip is open to all. For more information, or to sign up for the trip, contact Kathy Stein, at maka@bex.net or 419-865-9681. Some of the quilts will be at the September meeting.
