The Traveling Quilters®

P.O. Box 3214, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Don’t know where the time goes! Is it really mid-May? Somehow we manage to stay busier than ever and the days/weeks just fly by. Guess that’s a good thing.

Any special summer trips coming up? If you find a new quilt shop, please let us know so we can pass it along. Better yet, post it on our Facebook page. Who knows? You might help us find some fun destinations for future trips. We are always open to suggestions.

Lynn is looking forward to her annual horse camping trip to the Sierras. Pam is headed to No. CA to help her niece sort through boxes and boxes of the kids’ T-shirts looking for some good candidates for T-shirt quilts for all three. Did I really say yes to that?

Just a reminder, due to our September St. Louis/Paducah trip this year, we switched our Quilt-Away weekend in Temecula from September to August. See below for details.

Temecula Quilt-Away Retreat – August 23-26, 2018

For the August Temecula Quilt-Away Retreat, we will accept reservations through June 5, 2018. At that time,if we have more registrations than we can accommodate, we will close reservations and do a lottery for the spaces on the trip. Those not drawn for the lottery will go onto our waitlist. Registrants will be notified shortly after the lottery as to whether we can confirm their space or have put them on the wait list. For reservations received after June 5, we will add you to the wait list in the order received.

If, however, by June 5, 2018 reservations do not exceed our available space, then reservations will remain open until the trip fills.

Please complete the registration form and mail in with your deposit/payment. If, after June 5, 2018, we can confirm your space on the trip, we will send you a confirmation and deposit your check. If you are on the wait list, we will notify you and return your check.

Mystery Trip – Thursday, November 15, 2018 . . . note, this is a weekday.

We’ve planned another adventure for you. And, yes, the date is correct. We’re offering the Mystery trip on a weekday this time. You’ll see why at our first stop. Suffice it to say that we have things to see, and touch, and lots of shopping opportunities. Some may be close to home and some may be new and different. OK, no more clues! Join us for a fun-filled day before the holiday craziness settles in!

Cost: $50 per person
