nana25k Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 The craft area at Escapade can always be fun and its never to early for me to start planning. With Pam Woods as my "right hand" & "wing person" we want it to be an enjoyable place for all. I haven't seen the space of course but Molly assures me it the best they have ever had for this. I would love to know who our quilters and wood carvers are so that we can plan our space accordingly I would also like to hear from anyone who might enjoy teaching a class on their hobby or a fun craft. I know we have some very talented folks in this crowd. You would be able to designate how many people you would have in a class, what the cost would be to cover materials etc, how far in advance you need a head count or would you prefer people to sign up at registration. There is usually a day for "show and tell" as well. People may come to the space and show off their handy work and some choose to demonstrate as well. Traditionally that has been toward the end of the week. However this year it will happen earlier. This will allow people to hook up and get more info if they need on something that interests them. I will have my rug hooking frame there the entire time and I plan to offer a small class (probable no more than 6)on this very traditional American art form. Its very portable and fun. There will be an Escapade email up and running soon for this area and I will post it when its active,but until then please contact me thru a pm or just post on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarome Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Pssst..... (Don't tell anyone, but there is no "s" on Wood.) Maybe she was trying to insinuate that Pam has multiple personality D if she's both her "right hand" AND "wing person"... Wood"s"? [it's okay Linda... it wouldn't be the first time I've been slapped. Have at! ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk W Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 It will be one great event and whether you are into crafts, seminars, or just socializing you will have a great time. Linda has a history of doing great craft areas and she is just one of the many talented people who will be on staff this year. Pam was a room host last year in her area and was impressed enough to move over to join the craft staff. If you are not yet registered, visit the Escapade webpages and get signed up now! There is going to be one heck of a party in Vermont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWharton Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I haven't attended an Escapade in years. Will there be an area in Crafts for us to work on our projects and chat with each other. Nothing formal, just when we have free time to stop over and meet some new friends while getting some work done on our projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWharton Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I usually carry around something small that I can work on between seminars, waiting for DH or whatever. Never know what I will have with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of crafting are you doing?? Feel free to contact me at escapadecrafts@escapees.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdeasy Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I quilt and crochet and would enjoy doing either with others if there is adequate room. I was disappointed last year in the small, cramped space. There was some confusion on when the area would be available to just come and sew. The 2-3 times I came, no one seemed to know when classes would have the space and whether there were others that just wanted to sew together. I didn't want to take the time to bring all my stuff (including machine), if no one else would be there. Now that I've complained about last year . . . If there is anything I can do to make this work better, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana25k Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have not seen our space. I have been told by our Directors that is a very nice space. I will be arriving a couple days early with the other staff volunteers and will then have a better idea. I am of the understanding that the space is one open area with no sectional dividers. There will be an area set aside for the quilting group and I am sure they will welcome you to join them. Please be sure to bring a power strip and extension cord for your machine. There will be a schedule of craft activities posted near registration and will also be included in the daily Escapade News that comes out in email form to all participants. Looking forward to meeting you. Feel free to contact me at Escapadecrafts@escapees.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
