Typically our sew days have all been held at the SW Branch (Dr. Phillips) of the Orange County Library System. The last 6 months of 2013, we were only able to book the location for one Saturday. A number of people indicated interest in having some sew days on weekdays.  The rest of the year at the SW Library is a mix of days and meanwhile Beth will look into some other possible locations to have set up some additional dates.

in the spring.

Possible dates for the fall quilting retreat in Cocoa were discussed and the weekend of November 8th-10th was selected. More information will be forthcoming.
