May Meeting Highlights

“Pleased to meet ya!” Members had time to chat and get better acquainted during May’s “Speed Dating” program. Profile cards were passed around as everyone rotated through the room and shared fun facts about themselves. My, what an interesting bunch of characters quilters we have!

Business:
~ Sell all your raffle quilt tickets ! Money needs to be turned in at June’s meeting. The drawing will be held July 1st.
~ We are scouting for a new meeting place. Stay tuned for developments. 

Show & Tell:

Amanda incorporated “ugly” fabrics into this scrappy gem. Nothing ugly here!
Valerie’s quilt looks like summer. 

Tricia finished this beautiful patriotic quilt.

Joy found this pristine 1940 quilt in a consignment shop. 

NEXT MONTH:

~ Date change:  Saturday, June 7th we’ll welcome summer with a pot-luck picnic in the park! Join us for food, games and lots of fun. We are meeting at Harwood Mills park in Yorktown, on Oriana Rd. next to the reservoir from 10:00-1:00.  Clothesline will be strung to show off everyone’s Show & Tell and BOMs.
Let us know what you plan to bring HERE.

~ Anything goes with June’s Block of the Month – everyone is encouraged to  BYOB – Bring Your Own Block. Reminder: Beth is “stealing” blocks monthly to be made into extra quilts for charity. Extra blocks can also be made for this purpose and given directly to Beth.
