Fall Retreat - Jillily Studios

Exciting things are on the agenda for our annual Fall Retreat!

Jillily Studio is coming to Cordova!  Jill is a "Quilt Rock Star" in multiple ways ... she creates patterns, designs fabric, plans events and teaches quilters everywhere!  She was recently featured in American and Patchwork magazine!  You will not want to miss the fun, learning and inspiration that Jill Finley will be sharing with us!

The fun will begin on Friday, September 26th with a guild "Meet and Greet" Potluck in the Home Ec room at 6:00 pm!  Jill will present her trunk show at 7:00 ... the public is invited!

Earlier this spring, members voted for the patterns Jill will be using to teach us her piecing and quilting techniques.  We will begin with the Trellis on Saturday, September 27th at 9:30 am in the Home Ec room.
