TRAVEL AND RETREATS
Travel to Shipshewana, Indiana with the Limestone Quilters Guild, June 20-25, 2017
Join us on another wonderful quilt trip. We will be travelling to northern Indiana, to attend the Shipeshewana Quilt Festival. This is a long-standing show with community involvement.
We will be in Amish country, and you know that means beautiful quilts, shops, food, and friendly people. In addition, we will see famous quilt gardens and barn quilts. We will also participate in their shop hop! The quilt show will feature male quilters in 2017.
Something new for us, and a great new outlook on the quilting arts.
