October Newsletter
Dear Quilt Yard Customer,
Thank-you to those who participated in the Western Wisconsin Falling Leaves 2011 Shop Hop! It is always a pleasure seeing familiar faces and making new friends.
Change of event: In the September newsletter a brief comment was mentioned in regards to a fall retreat, "Make it for Christmas" November 3-6, to be held at Camp Cotton. Unfortunately the dates mentioned above conflict with Camp Cotton availability.
A thousand and one apologies! The retreat will be rescheduled for December 1-4. This leaves plenty of time to make those precious gifts for your loved ones.
Warmly,
Betty Cotton
