The committee has decided to put a change in the FQ bingo game. We will now make it so you can PLAY UP TO 4 FQs per game... With everyone flying in, we thought that it might be a challenge for everyone to get 4 FQs here for each game... SO HOW BOUT A CHANGE!
So if you only want to play with 1 FQ, we will give you 1 card... if you want 2 or 3, we can accommodate that as well :) But if you're feeling REALLY lucky, then you will want to play with 4 FQs... that's what I'll be doing!
Do ya remember the choices of fabrics to bring? I'll refresh
~ ASIAN fabrics ... those gorgeous Orientals! (4 FQs per player)
~ REPRODUCTION fabrics ~ can be Civil War, 30's or other repro (4 FQs per player)
~ FALL ~ Gotta have those FABULOUS fall fabrics! {NO HALLOWEEN} (4 FQs per player)
~ BATIKS !!! What would a party be without Batiks!!! (4 FQs per player)
~ BLACK & WHITES ~ fabric with black background & white print, or white background & black print (4 FQs per player)
~ NEUTRAL fabrics ~ beiges, tans, off whites, tone on tone lights (4 FQs per player)
~ UGLIES ... Everyone has some they are tired of or wonder WHY they ever bought those! No limit as to how many go into the pot, but 4 minimum.
and possibly (time permitting)
~ ANYTHING GOES ~ this will be anything you want to throw in, or maybe you won some you don't really want. Please make sure this is 100% GOOD QUALITY COTTON FABRIC.
This will be the last Bingo game.
Now for those that are flying, if you win big and don't want to carry them in your suitcase, or you do some shopping you just couldn't pass up ~~
WE WILL HAVE PRIORITY MAIL BOXES AND ENVELOPES AT RETREAT FOR ANY ITEMS YOU MAY WISH TO SEND. THEY WILL BE FLAT RATE, SO YOU CAN WRITE ME A CHECK TO MAIL THEM (WE WILL ALREADY KNOW THE POSTAGE AMOUNT), AND I WILL GET THEM MAILED ON MONDAY AFTER RETREAT. We will also have DELIVERY CONFIRMATION forms available as well. Just please MARK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PACKAGE "FQ BINGO" ...
Last year, I mailed my dirty laundry home via USPS and packed up all my fabric purchases and souvenirs in my carryon for the plane :) I didn't care if my laundry got lost :)
So there's your categories for FAT QUARTER BINGO ... It's a retreat tradition... one we mean to carry on ~ big time!
And what would the tradition of FQ Bingo be without our awesome bingo caller... THANK YOU CHANLADY Lois for stepping up as our Bingo caller once again. When I sought the advice of previous hostesses when I was considering having the retreat come to Branson, the previous hostesses HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Chanlady be kept as Bingo caller ... and after meeting her in NC and seeing her in action, I was MORE than appreciative of her "talents" ... So THANK YOU LOIS !!! I know you'll do a great job as Bingo hostess once again.
And remember... the games don't just have one winner! THEY HAVE MULTIPLE WINNERS!!!
