Susan Body and Vicki Swensen are the chairs for our magazine sales at the 2013 Quilt Show.  They are changing it up a bit this year and are adding 2 1/2 inch fabric sales.  They are hoping to fill a kiddie pool with these strips that can be purchased by the bag at the Quilt Show. What could be better than a dip in a pool filled with fabric!  Your magazine and fabric contributions (any usable length will do) can be brought to any guild meeting and Susan and Vicki will be available for taking these off your hands or you can bring them to the Quilt Show during set up on Thursday, July 11.

The quilt show is a short 4 months away and we need your help.  We have several opportunities for you to participate in committees that will help the quilt show run smoothly.  Sign-up sheets are available at the monthly guild meetings or contact Connie Lovelady 419-8088 if interested in participating in a committee.  Committee options include:

We also have several baskets available for ‘adoption’ to fill with goodies that will be sold at the Country Store at the quilt show.  Having trouble figuring out what to put in the basket…we have all kinds of ideas from quilting related notions, items for baby, movie night and snacks to name a few.  If you would like to adopt a basket, please contact Connie Lovelady or Janet Neuschwanger at the next guild meeting.
