  Sleep at Home Retreat!

  Come join your fellow guild members for two days of friendship, quilting, food and fun. Food will be provided you just need to bring quilting materials, and projects. The good part, you get to sleep in your own bed. 
  

  Need time to sew? Ready to clear out some space on your shelves?  Bring those unfinished projects, (or start a new one), along with your sewing machine, supplies, and your favorite snacks to share, (not required, but appreciated!), for 2 days of sewing. Come early, stay late! 

  Friday 9:00AM - 8:00PM and Saturday 9:00 AM - 3:30PM! 

  You can come and go as desired, and you can leave your supplies overnight. 

  Please remember: This is not an instructional class! And while we don't mind helping out once in a while, any of the CCQG Workshop Committee members who may be participating are here to work on their own projects just like you!  

  Hope you decide to join us. 

  If you have any questions, please contact Chris or Joyce.

  Silent Auction: Last year the Silent Auction was great fun and a great success! This year will be even better!

  Your Stash is MY Treasure!

  • This will be a silent auction with all proceeds going to the guild. 
  • The definition of STASH: fabric of any cut, left over fat quarters, charms, layer cakes, UFOs, buttons, books, snaps, yarn, thread, orphan blocks, rickrack, notions, rotary cutters, rulers, patterns, unfinished kits, kits never started, rulers, etc. Pretty much anything that needs to go to make room for your new stash! ☺ 
  • You may combine several items in one tub, box, or grouping – your choice. 
  • All items will be auctioned ONLY in dollar increments. 
  • Accepted payment by check or cash. 
  • Anything not sold will be returned to the individual or donated to the Salvation Army. 
  • See the attached form included with the newsletter - bring the form with you! 
  • Print as many copies as needed for individual items you want to auction off. 
  • If you need printed copies, let me know, I’ll have them available for you. 
  • If you group many items together, use one form and the description – “stash” or mystery!
