TIES THAT BIND
Meeting is Wednesday, August 18 @ 7:00 pm August 2010
QUILT SHOW INFO:
Things are progressing nicely- 19 of 24 vendor spaces are full & mailings are going out. Pat P. has volunteered to take on the challenge of Hospitality Coordinator. We are still looking for a nimble-fingered person to work publicity for the show.
QUILT SHOW EXHIBITS:
How many quilts do you have for the show this year? You still have 3 months to get them done. Please try to get at least ONE into the show this year.
COUNTRY STORE:
Please take some time out of your busy schedules to make a few items for the country store. Bring ideas to guild meetings as well, so we can share the creative brainstorming of all of our members.
FABRIC RESCUE WORKSHOP:
We got all of our “chickens” in a row with Ann Marie Kremer on July 10 at the Germantown Library. Thirteen TTB members learned about using almost every part of a rescued men’s shirt and are considering a challenge project for next year.
VISITORS:
Pat P continues to add much to our guild- today it was two friends…Jean and Pat D. They are both rookie quilters and were welcomed warmly.
SILENT AUCTION TIME;
Get your fabric, food, ferns…and anything else you’d like to auction away- ready for our meeting in September. If you bring a box of misc., please make a list of what your box contains. 3 box MAX, & whatever doesn’t sell goes home with you.
BROWN BAG EXCHANGE/HOLIDAY PARTY:
Save the date…December 15 is the date for our Holiday Party at Fox & Hounds in Hubertus and brown bag exchange (done!). Get crackin’, peruse magazines and books for ideas and git ‘er done!!!
