Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #181 Quilting Friends, I am impressed with the amount of quilting events this fall in Florida. There was a time in the not-too-distant-past that we had one quilt show and maybe one workshop in the last few months of the year. Wow! We are busy in Florida! Now that the heat isn't keeping us cooped up, I encourage you to get out and see some quilts and get inspired! To get a complete, organized, hotlinked listing of all the Florida upcoming shows, retreats, workshops, shop hops, exhibits, etc, please visit the Calendar. 2013 Oct 6-12 Jacqueline De Jonge Classes in Panama City www.quiltingbythebay.com (#180) Oct 7-11 Sue Garman Classes in Tampa www.FeatherPrincesses.org (#180) Oct 12 FL Quilt Study Group in Trenton sewmuch63@hotmail.com (#179) Oct 12 Marlene Glickman Workshop in Sarasota Marlene@123webmagic.com (#181) Oct 12-13 Festival in Wesley Chapel Oct 18 Zentangle Workshop in Lakeland www.LadiesOfTheLakes.org (#180) Oct 18-20 Quilt Retreat in Rockledge www.thequiltplace.com (#180) Oct 18-20 Quilt Show & Sale in White Springs www.FloridaStateParks.org/StephenFoster (#180) Oct 19 Quilt Retreat in Geneva www.CountryCottageSewing.com (#180) Oct 20 Marlene Glickman Workshop in Clearwater Marlene@123webmagic.com (#181) Nov 1-2 Quilt Show in Brooksville www.hernandoquiltersguild.com (#174) Nov 7 Craft Show & Auction in Orlando lyndamquilts@hotmail.com (#181) Nov 8-10 Quilt Retreat in Cocoa Beach www.sewcentral.net (#179) Nov 15 Color Workshop in Lakeland www.LadiesOfTheLakes.org (#180) Nov 22-24 Quilt Retreat in Rockledge www.thequiltplace.com (#180) Nov 23/24 Craft Show in St. Pete Marlene@123webmagic.com (#181) Dec 2-30 Quilt Exhibit in Key Largo 305-451-2396 (#179) Dec 14 Ann Taylor Workshop in Lake Worth www.hibiscusquiltguild.org (#181) 2014 Dec 30-Jan 31 Quilt Exhibit in Islamorada 305-451-2396 (#179) Jan 9-11 World Quilt Show in West Palm Beach www.QuiltFest.com Jan 24-25 Quilt Show in Ft.

The modern quilting movement is drawing many new quilters to our craft, and it is re-energizing a lot of quilters who have taken a more traditional route to their quiltmaking. I have a new website: www.modernquilter.us On this site, I have descriptions of the workshops and a lecture that I give on modern quilting. My workshops are fun and everyone will receive supportive attention. And, there is a nice balance between guidelines (not rules) and freedom to explore and improvise. When your guild or other group is looking for a one day (or longer) workshop on modern quilting, I hope that you will contact me! All the best, Carole Lyles Shaw ------------------------------------------------------------- NEW TEDDY PRUETT LECTURE AVAILABLE Finally, after many guild requests and a very long wait, Teddy Pruett is offering a new program. Program chairs, listen up! Here's her description: "Second Hand Stories" For more information and fees, visit her website at www.teddypruett.com
