April Camp Blanding Retreat!

Hi to all! 

 I wanted to share with each of you our April Camp Blanding Retreat has been canceled.  The command needs to keep the Armory Building and the Lodging open and available in the event the National Guard needs the facilities.

It also goes in accordance with the mandate that less than 50 people gather together in one social event.  So... our social gathering will wait until... Hopefully July.  If for any reason we need to adjust dates on the July retreat - we will let you know.  July is a VERY BUSY month for lodging since the active reserve members can make reservations 6 months in advance.  Many of them use this opportunity to book their cottages for summer vacation with their children.

It's a waiting game and one we will have to be understanding with.  

In the meantime.... dig out those projects and get busy working on them.  We shall be in charge of this nasty VIRUS and get our sewing done inside our homes.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.  Take no risks!  If you are of the age and health that can catch this bug easier... stay inside.  

Hugs to all!!! 

Gloria, Vicky & Heather

p.s.  We are getting a new website soon... stay tuned!!

It's almost FEBRUARY!

Wow.... I swear we just finished with Christmas!  Where did the month of January fly to?  Vicky and I have been in Dallas and Atlanta over the past three weeks helping our friends (from K & K Interiors) in their show rooms.  What fun we have... it's so great to see the entire group once a year and hear how their year has gone.  Then we get to chat with customers that come back to us year after year to order new merchandise for their shops!  The showrooms were so "over the top" this year.... the most gorgeous I've seen them.  The stylists work so hard to make everything look so wonderful for the customer... they are the behind the scenes folks and deserve a lot more recognition than what it seems we all give them!  It's a true talent to take merchandise and mix it all together so it is simply impossible to NOT want to order everything!

Now that we are back home... it's down to business here!  We have a busy next few months...whew!  First thing... our Camp Blanding February Retreat!  Oh yes... we are ready to hang out with our CB group and get some fun sewing finished.

The dates (in case you haven't enrolled as of today) are from February 27 - March 1, 2020.  We also have been assigned lodging!  Mark this date and time on your calendar, phone, ipad, so you will remember.... Sunday, February 2 at 7:00 pm.  Sign on to our website:
