We need a Chairperson for the QUILT TAKE DOWN.

This involves taking down the quilts, placing them in baggies with the quilter's NAME in front.  Remove the quilts to a Pick-Up location, and put

them in alphabetical order.  After comparing the name on the QUILT to the registration sheet they are required to bring, hand their quilt to them.

Lots of people will already be there to help you!

 

Elaine's Group of Committee Heads will Meet at Peggy Floyd's house at 7:00p.m. on Monday, November 16th. Please call Elaine if you cannot come.

Fat Quarter Raffle Baskets for the Quilt Show

At the October meeting, members voted for the themes for the two yummy fat quarter baskets that will be raffled off at the Quilt Show in June.  By far, the big favorites were "Black & White" and "Flannels."  So now you have an excuse to go through your stash and find fat quarters to donate to the baskets.  :-)  As a reminder, a fat quarter is an 18" x 22" cut of fabric.  Good quality cotton only, please.  Let's fill those baskets, and remember, winning one of our raffles is way easier than winning the lottery!

http://incompetech.com/graphpaper  this web site is such a great tool I  couldn't wait until Prez Tips to share it with you.  I found it when I googled hexagons for English paper piecing.  Jean

 

I did NOT find my bobbin holder after the quilt retreat - and I turned my sewing room upside down! There must be a gremlin living nearby! But it was a great retreat anyway - thanks! - Patricia diStefano

 

I  have a four harness, maple, table loom $225.  I will consider all reasonable offers.  Peggy Holt Email me at pandabolt27@bridgemail.com  

 

** SEW DAYS **

Please come for a day of sewing and friendship. Sometimes its really a good idea to get out of the house and away from all your chores and spend the day with fellow quilters.  Remember that it's potluck and if you would like to volunteer to make a pot of soup, please let me know. Jolene Ellerton jellerton@ci.missoula.mt.us or 239-4488. Hope to see you there!!
