Events at Calico Gals Syracuse
Marie Bostwick Reading and Signing
On May 11, Calico Gals welcomes popular author and quilt maker, Marie Bostwick, to the Syracuse and Oswego stores! Each appearance will feature a 30 minute presentation followed by a book signing.
Books will be available for purchase, incuding Marie’s newest, Ties That Bind. There is no cost to attend, but please contact the store hosting the event if you plan to attend.
Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author of Just Breathe, says about Marie’s novel, A Single Thread:
“By the time you finish this book, the women in A Single Thread will feel like your own girlfriends—emotional, funny, creative and deeply caring. It’s a story filled with wit and wisdom. Sit back and enjoy this big-hearted novel, and then pass it on to your best friend.”

Get on the Bus with Us, June 10th – SOLD OUT
Join the Gals for a full day of fun on Sunday, June 10th, at the North Country Quilt Show! Our coach bus will leave the Syracuse store and head off to the Harborview store in Oswego where the group will enjoy snacks and demos and pick up any Oswego Gals who want to jump on.
The next stop will be lunch at the C-Way Restaurant in Clayton, followed by the quilt show! The quilt by Mary Knapp (pictured at right) was just one of the beautiful entries in the 2010 show. This quilt guild is talented! There will be vendors (Calico Gals, of course), demos and lots to see and do.
The price is $65 for the day and includes your lunch (tax, tip and beverage, too), your quilt show admission, comfortable transportation with your friends and . . . Lynn’s famous popcorn for the ride home. Only 38 seats are available, so act soon. To reserve a seat on the bus, no matter where you get on, call or stop in to the Syracuse store. 315-445-0617.
