SILENT AUCTION TIME;
Time to clear out the old…get your fabric, food, ferns…and anything else you’d like to auction away- ready for the 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.
QUILT SHOW INFO:
Most of the vendor spaces are full, and mailings are out. Postcards were labeled and stamped at the August meeting. 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. Aimee will handle the publicity.
QUILT SHOW EXHIBITS:
Put the finishing touches on the quilts you have in progress… so you can display them at the 2010 show this Novmber. Make a special point to get AT LEAST one quilt to the show. (Two would be nice, three would be teriffic, four would be FANTASTIC!)
We’ve always done a fine job as a guild with our quilts! The website is up and running, enter NOW!!
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.
