The Trunk Show Has Arrived!!
Featuring quilts by Kathy Brown from her book "Strip-Smart Quilts"
All of the quilts in the book use the same block construction, and the same wonderful ruler. You will be amazed at how different one block can look!
As a follow up to the trunk show, we will be offering a class using Kathy's technique. You choose your favorite quilt from the book, and we will show you just how easy it goes together.
Class is Saturday March 3rd 10:00 - 2:00.
Cost is $20.00 plus required book

We've moved our retreat to the Best Western Trail Lodge in Eau Claire as of last Fall. We are very excited about our new venue. We have much more space, and best of all we will all be in the same room! You will have luxurious accommodations with 2 queen beds, a fridge and microwave in each room. There is also a pool and hot tub to lounge by for a little relaxation between quilting projects.
Our retreat will begin Thursday evening at 6:00 pm (a little earlier than in the Fall) and will end around 3:00 pm Sunday. You can also begin Friday morning if that works into your schedule.
Cost of the retreat is only $100 which includes lunches and suppers with ice water and coffee available. Contact The Calico Shoppe to register!
