Spring Retreat

Our spring retreat will be at the Hallowood Retreat Center, 7300 Banner Rd, Dickerson, MD 20842 from Monday 4/17 to Thursday 4/20.  Signup is via email only to Laura Markus  soldbylaura@aol.com, starting at 9pm on Friday 1/27, 2023.  We are limited to 16 retreaters and expect an increase over the fall retreat price which was $320 for 3 days/2nights and $424 for 4 days/3 nights.  A waitlist will be kept since people often need to drop out due to life events.  The retreat includes all meals, a private bedroom and a table to sew and is a great experience where you will get to know other guild members.  A $100 deposit will be due once you are confirmed with a spot.  If you have questions, please contact Laura Markus (soldbylaura@aol.com) or Kim Jalette (orangcouchquilts@gmail.com), retreat coordinators.

May 3:  Melinda Lowy - Evolution of an Art Quilter.
​The journey of an art quilter is rarely a straight line.  Melinda’s journey has followed four main paths aligned with her series: Decisions, Constructions, Fragments and 3-dimensional pieces.  Her work makes use of very different types of fabrics from silks and cottons to polyesters and upholstery fabrics, as well as many surface design techniques. This will be a hybrid meeting – in person and on Zoom.

June 7: End of Year Celebration – thank you to everyone! We will have a business meeting and show & tell. Lunch will be provided by the guild as a thank you and celebration of a successful year. We have been able to add new members – so nice to meet new friends!  Our raffle quilt, “Millie’s Galaxy”, has been shared with the community and raised a significant amount of money which will benefit all members. Look for information about our winning raffle ticket drawing, also on June 7. This will be an in person meeting only.
