2012 Quilt Retreat!!
We will be at Lake Junaluska again this September! The dates are set for Thursday, September 27 to Sunday, September 30. Our venue this year will be the wonderful historic Lambuth Inn on the Lake Junaluska campus. We have 9 lakeview double rooms set aside for us. If we have more than 18 participants, there are more rooms available with a beautiful mountain view on the back side of the inn. This promises to be a truly beautiful environment for our quilt retreat. Four of us traveled to NC last week to look at Lambuth Inn, and the vote was a resoundingly unanimous YES for Lambuth Inn! The total cost this year for 3 nights and 6 meals is $228.00, plus a small fee to cover the meeting room rental and incidentals, probably around $5. The meals will be dinner on Thursday, all 3 meals on Friday, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Lunch on Saturday will be on your own, and we will find one or possibly two different options for Saturday dinner, depending on the size of our group.
We also stopped at Quilters' Quarters, and they will again be offering us some discounts. The detailed information will be available in September. There is also a discount fabric store in Maggie Valley that is a lot of fun to browse, and Sheryll took us to another quilt shop on a mountain road in Maggie Valley which carries Moda Fabrics and is also a lot of fun (just getting there was great!). Waynesville and Maggie Valley also offer other fun shopping and browsing for Saturday's afternoon out.
Our quilting room at Lambuth Inn is on the first floor, with an outside entrance to Inspiration Point, and lots of natural light. And it's huge!
Check-in this year will be in the lobby of Lambuth Inn, so you will go directly there instead of stopping at the Welcome Center.
You can start signing up for the 2012 retreat now by emailing Kathy at skcronberg@att.net. Treat yourself to a wonderful time away, quilting and sharing fun and laughter with your fellow guild members. To view photos of Lambuth Inn, please go to http://www.lakejunaluska.com/lambuth-inn/.
2013 Quilt Retreat!!
While we were there, we set the dates for the 2013 Quilt Retreat. Dates will be September 26-29, 2013, and it will be at the Lambuth Inn. Assuming the world doesn't end on December 21st, we will have all the information available next January... ;)
From our Webmistress: Don't forget that our guild's website, www.rosecenterquiltguild.com, is a valuable resource for referencing the workshop schedule, the monthly newsletter, information about the Quilt Show and our guild's other projects, a photo gallery, and useful links.
Kathy Cronberg updates the website monthly with the latest newsletter. The workshop schedule for 2012 is now live. The latest information about the quilt show is on the site.
Take a few minutes to look through the website. If you are a committee chair with additional information about a guild project, please email Kathy at skcronberg@att.net with the pertinent info. If you have a useful link you'd like to share with the rest of the guild, email Kathy with the web address. Do you see something that needs correcting, or more information? You got it - email Kathy with the info! And lastly, if you have photos that should go in the photo gallery, send me an email IF the jpg files aren't too large (keep to less than 100K each), or if they're bigger than that, put them on a flash drive and lend it to Kathy to offload the files onto her computer for editing and uploading to the website.
