Greetings from Designer Fabrics

Hello, Everyone!

How are all of those resolutions coming? Note to self... it sure is hard to use up a ton of stash when you are making small projects! Some days I think it's easier to put together projects for the shop than at home. Maybe I need a plan for whom these projects are going to? Most of my family has had their fill of my "gifts", & my closet is FULL of finished projects. I still don't have a "quilt" on all of the beds in the house... maybe I have a couple of inspirations up my sleeve to create some kind of wonderful!! There are plenty of retreats coming up to take advantage of to complete your resolution/mission! At least I don't have a graduation to plan for this year! Whew!!

All the NEW items into the shop & the Events reminders are being posted so you can keep track of us on Facebook! Just in case you don't have extra time to peruse the website & want a general overview of what has been happening!! I'll try & post pictures of our whereabouts when possible!!

Crystal Springs Retreat

Crystal Springs Baptist Camp

Medina, ND

February 17-19, 2012 or March 30-April 1, 2012

Come and join us for a relaxing weekend of quilting! We can check in at 9:00am on Friday and leave anytime on Sunday.

Arrive Friday or Saturday, whichever works for your schedule. Cost is $30.00 per night and $8.00 per meal. You plan your own weekend!! There are no organized classes, just bring your own unfinished projects to work on!! Everyone must have a few of those tucked away. If you are all caught up or need something new from your wish list, Designer Fabrics will have a shop set up!! Now's your chance to work on your UFOs uninterrupted in a well lit, huge space! We sew on one end of the dining hall (which holds 200 people), and save a few tables to eat on.

Crystal Springs provides a cook for the following planned meals:

Friday~ Dinner at 12 noon-----Supper at 6:00pm

Saturday~Brunch at 10:00am-----Supper at 6:00pm

Sunday~ Brunch at 10:00am

We also have a table or so for the "grazing buffet" of shared snacks (& please bring the recipe to share also)! Sleeping accommodations are dorm-style, with room for 100. So remember to bring a sleeping bag or bedding for a twin sized bed, pillow and toiletries.

This Retreat is limited to 34 people, so we are asking for a $20 non-refundable fee for holding your reserved spot. Remember... First come, first guaranteed. No exceptions, Reservations fill up fast!! This fee will be deducted from your final cost, if you attend.
