Stash March 2024 Newsletter

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Happy Spring, Happy Daylight Savings Month and Happy Easter. Lots of fun this month.  

Our Biggest news is we did it. We ordered a Long Arm quilting Machine. Other news is our Annual Quilt Show on June 1 at Little Opry Land, Tie One On Challenge and our FB Lives will be changing. More info on all of that below.

February started out with a Quilting Guild from Elgin. They had a couple classes, lunch and shopping. It was great to have them come and visit. Valentine's Day was a hit - Jessi did a wonderful job arranging flowers and made many people very happy. Annette's patchwork series class covered 1/4 square triangles, flying geese and other triangles. The ladies enjoyed it. The February retreat was a hoot with seven first timers. We were thrilled to have all of you attend.

Our hours will remain Tuesday - Friday from 9:30 am to 5:30 on mountain time. Look at our website calendar to see when we are open on Saturday.

If you cancel before 10 days prior, you can transfer your deposit to another retreat.

The retreats will only be held if we have a minimum of 10 quilters including people who attend that are not staying.

You can register for any or all the retreats with a phone call - you can send a check for the deposit or give us a card number over the phone.  Any questions please call.
