Yep... it's official... we are FULL !! We have our max of attendees! So exciting!
So... here are some other reminders!
1. Don't forget to bring your knives, scissors, etc. that need sharpening. Wrap them up in a towel and place them in a sealed zipper bag. Inside the bag be sure to provide your NAME & Phone number. Hang on to your bag until we call for them.
2. We're having MORE VISITORS... Saturday we will have Tony Baker with his featherweights. Also Lularoe (clothing) will join us for your shopping pleasure.
3. Bring your Opportunity Quilts with you.... We need to give more to the Post for their distribution to the military and families.
4. Don't forget to bring your checkbook and/or credit card. We'll have the:
* Sale Room
* An "Opportunity Quilt" ticket sales
* Red Crinoline and Sew It Began will have some items for sale at their sewing stations.
* Olde Green Cupboard will have "Beeswax Thread Conditioner" (handmade by me)
PLUS.... (drum roll)… let's all thank KIM COOPER for locating a massage therapist (Raymonica Scott) to visit with us on Saturday!!! She will arrive after lunch and be with us until later in the evening. We will have sign up sheets for you to complete prior to her arrival. (she's bring a massage chair) I don't remember her fee schedule but it was VERY REASONABLE! Oh my gosh... there is nothing better than a neck, shoulder and back massage when sewing! Right? !
Please remember... if this is your first visit to Camp Blanding to adhere to the speed limits, wear your seat belt, NO TALKING ON THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING.
Bring your food, snacks, drinks (we provide coffee), ironing station, projects, sewing supplies, SWEATER, don't forget to double check - sewing cord and foot pedal (I can't even begin to tell you how many of us have forgotten ours....), Driver's License or government picture identification card.
Please add my number as a contact in your phone: Gloria Parsons 904-742-1100 In the event you have any issues getting on the post - call me!
Lodging Keys: Pick up at the Armory Building - enter at the back right side of the building (double doors) at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday. Then you'll have time to get set up in your lodging and then return to the Armory at 5:00 pm to set up for lodging. I do apologize that you have to wait in line outside until 5:00 pm in the heat. However, the offices are open and the Armory staff is still working until that time. We can get pretty loud during setup so they've asked us to wait until the majority of the soldiers have finished work for the day.
I think that's it... if you have any other questions... please call or email me.
The GUARD LIST IS BEING SENT TODAY! In order to enter, your name must be on the list. I have added all newcomers to the Guard List! If I should have forgotten you by error... ask the guard to call me. My name and number are at the top of the Guard List.
See you SOON!!!

Another GREAT RETREAT planned!!!
WELL... as all of you know... Florence is still hanging around and making a mess of everything!
Our retreat in North Carolina at the Black Stallion was cancelled.... we even had to evacuate. Thank God we didn't have a full house yet... ! The staff was there a day early and in the process of cooking, setting up the classroom, etc. when we received the telephone call... in a matter of seconds our dreams were crushed.
So... we packed everything back up (that we had just unpacked) and tried contacting everyone that were all over the United States...some of them even traveling to us... and told them the news. Needless to say - we all were holding back the tears as well as possible.
We had already prepared 15 chickens for barbecuing, made banana pudding, ice cream dessert, etc. and it all went bye-bye.
HOWEVER, we all managed to leave the island safely and we're doing our best to work on a reschedule! So for those of you that were scheduled to attend... once we get a plan into place, we will contact each of you FIRST - then once we can open it up to our other quilters.
Lisa Bongean has many openings in her schedule next year … so keep your fingers crossed!
To continue on with the RETREATS... I wanted to share this one we have coming up!!!!
