Pieces have to be cut prior to the meeting. See attached workshop directions!!
FABRIC RESCUE WORKSHOP:
By now, everyone should have seen the dates for the Fabric Rescue workshop. Voting was done with a quick 4 day turn around.
WHERE ARE YOU??:
We are still looking for that special woman who will be our hospitality
hostess and publicity hound! Perhaps friends who split the work?? Patti A. will keep track of area quilt shows and mail out our quarter sheet ads.
QUILT SHOW:
Royce Fabrics and Quilted Basket have again consented to providing a drop off center for quilt show entries. Other quilt show news: the post card mailings will be going out soon. The exhibitor list is growing… over 50 new exhibitors on our list! Forty-two vendor invites went out on May 1. The June meeting will need all hands on deck as we stamp and address the postcards which will go out in August.
HEARTS IN UNITY DONATION:
Sue Werner was presented with 100 book bags for the students in Tanzania. 1300 children now have book bags because of people who care! TTB Quilt Guild also gave Sue a check for $75 for the purchase of a goat.
SCRAPPY FRIENDSHIP QUILTS:
The deadline is open, the challenge has been issued, let’s see how your quilt will turn out…it’s not too late, you can even skip the fabric swap and use your own fabrics. You’ll need 6” squares…64 lights, and 64 darks/mediums. (see Joan L. for more info)
McCALL’S QUILTS FROM THE HEARTS:
If you want to try your hand at a scrappy or planned challenge, check with Sherry for the project she’s currently working on!

All TTB quilters are invited to the Germantown Library for a full day of sewing on Saturday, June 19 from 9-3.
MAY HOSTESSES:
Colleen, Ree, & Ann W.
(June: Joan D, Lori P., & ???)
BLOCK OF THE MONTH:
Colleen was the lucky winner of 17 blocks from the April Challenge with 30’s fabrics. Pat P brought the pattern for May- “Jacob’s Ladder” to be done in springy or flowery fabrics and white on white.
BIRTHDAY BLOCKS:
We presented Joan L. with her Snail’s Trails in light and dark blues, and received patterns from Mary M. (a variety of blocks w/ a common cream back-ground) and Colleen (split 9 patch- scrappy).

Come see machines, quilters, techniques, or sign up to be a helper, and really get in on the action!
UFO 2010:
Did you start on your UFO list? Or did you start a new project (NOT AGAIN)?? Work to whittle down your list of projects in progress…get them done, and off your quilt guilt list so you can start in on a NEW project that tickles your fancy.
DOWNY.COM HELPING KIDS:
Please consider accessing the site and ordering a packet to make a comfort quilt. The fabrics are fun and of high quality. You only need to supply the time to make it and the batting, the kit comes with everything else!! If we have enough interest, it might be possible for the guild to have a Downy Display at the Quilt show to garner even more support.
DONATIONS:
TTB has donated $200 to the Freedom Quilters, and material in the amount of $200 to the McQuilters from the Ronald McDonald House across from Children’s Hospital. Mary M. and Colleen are the lucky fabric shoppers. Another sizeable donation is possible for the Wisconsin Quilt History Museum.
