RETREAT PROJECT: This year the featured Retreat quilt is the Log Cabin. As always…this is NOT a requirement, but your option. Please feel free to work on any projects you would like. There are many many variations of the Log Cabin. Included are the traditional Log Cabin, Curvy Log Cabin, Courthouse Step, the Pineapple quilt and many more. You can find many FREE patterns on Pinterest and other web sites and there are many books and patterns available at the quilt shops. If you are planning on one of the Log Cabin quilts, it would be helpful to have all the “logs” cut before coming to the Retreat.  A silverware try would be helpful to keep your “logs” organized. You’ll need 2 tray…one for the lights and one for the darks.  See Tab for resources

INCLEMENT WEATHER: In the event of inclement weather, the Guild policy is if the Cobb County School system is closed, Guild activities for that day 

will be cancelled. We have prepared an inclement weather call list that will be used if we have to cancel do to weather problems. If we do cancel,

everyone should receive a call as soon as a decision is reached. If you do not get a call, please feel free to call Sue Zabell at (h) 678-331-1201 or (c) 404-643-1834.

PARKING PASS:
When you arrive at Red Top, you will need to go by the Visitor Center first thing on Tuesday BEFORE coming to the shelters to secure a parking
pass. Each car must have a pass for each day. Parking passes are $5.00 per day. Annual passes may be purchases or if you are a Senior Citizen,
inquire about Senior Passes. Local public libraries have park passes that can be checked out free of charge . These passes are given out on a first
come, first serve basis. The Visitor Center is right at the corner of the main road coming into the Park and the road we turn on to get to Shelter #2
(Lodge Road). This is also the camper registration office.

Participation in any or all games is optional!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below is a list of the games that will be played at Red Top in March 2020.  Games will begin as soon as the kitchen crew has cleaned up after lunch. The evening games will be held at 6:30 PM.

Please note the fabric requirements needed to play the games if you plan to participate.

TUESDAY Night – Left, Right, Center

We will play three games. You will need three fat quarters for each game. Round one will be tone-on-tone fat quarters, round two will be black and white, and round three will be geometric designs such dots and stripes

Wednesday Day – Quilt-o

Playing for batik fat quarters. The game cards will cost one fat quarter per card with a two-card maximum. We will play three games of Quilt-o. If you plan to play with one card, you will need one fat quarter. If you plan to play with two cards, that will be 2 FQs. REMEMBER TO BRING BUTTONS, PENNIES, OR CANDY TO COVER YOUR TERMS AS THEY ARE CALLED.

Wednesday Night– Charm Pack Game

You will need one charm park with 42 squares in the charm pack. This game is similar to Left, Right, Center. You will end up with a charm pack when the game is over, but it may not be the charm pack you brought. 

Thursday Day– Dirty Quilter

Bring one yard of any fabric. The fabric must be quilt shop quality – nothing from Joann’s or Walmart.  Put your fabric in a brown paper bag. We will have a few extra bags if you forget your bag. Please fold your bag closed and staple it closed.

Thursday Night– Sew What – Two different word/trivia games

No fabric is required for this game.  There will be a prize for the winner of each game.
