Congratulations and a Reminder

Congratulations to Kelly Booth, Gillis Point, Cape Breton, NS! Kelly has been awarded the 2011 Avonport Award for a Young Quilter. We had 6 excellent applications for this award, it was a tough decision. Kelly is a member of the Baddeck Quilt Guild and we are all looking forward to meeting her at the Quilters Retreat in September.

Congratulations also to Linda Fanning of Port Williams, NS. Linda has won the Retreat Raffle which was drawn for at the March meeting of the Mayflower Quilters Guild. Many thanks to so many who supported this fund raiser and bought tickets.

And more congratulations to Jamie Pratt and Valerie Hearder who each won a $500 bursary from the Mahone Bay Quilters Guild. The bursary is to go towards their registration fee for the Retreat.

Registration day is fast approaching, mark your calender for Friday March 25 and be sure and get your envelope hand cancelled at the post office with the date to ensure your best chances at getting the workshop you want. We do this so that everyone who is a member of Mayflower or its chapters has an equal chance no matter where they live.

Non-member registration begins on Friday April 8, same procedure!

The committee is working hard to make this another memorable Retreat!
