DQN Fall Retreat

'Hallows Eve'
September 24-25-26,2010
Hallow is to have great respect or reverence for someone or something. The fall brings out the impishness in all of us. So to combine the two ideas having a great love and respect for our art and all of us needing a little fun, brings us to the name of the retreat, Hallows Eve......

Would you like to help with:

Table Decorations
Teaching a class or suggest a teacher.
Compiling a retreat booklet with a schedule and quilting tips etc. for the attendees.
Registrations?
