Hi Ladies
We are now just weeks away from the quilt show and open house (August 6th). Lots of exciting things are happening!
First of all, please make sure you send your list of show entries to Valerie Valle if you have not already done so. The quilt show committee will be collecting your entries on Thursday, July 21st at the meeting at 6:30pm. New this year we are going to award ribbons for viewer's choice. Please make sure you fill out the Entry/Inventory Form and that your quilt is clearly labeled. If your quilt it is to be hung, it must have either a 4" sleeve or tabs that are securely sewn to the top of the quilt. Please note that the charity quilts do not need sleeves or tabs. All quilts must be in a pillowcase or cloth bag with the owners name and phone number on it.

If you can't make the meeting, there will also be a final collection of quilts on Thursday, July 28th the time is to be announced later.
We have made great progress on the charity quilt project. So far we have 15 charity quilts that will be displayed and later donated to our charities. Great job everyone.
Since we are collecting quilts, we will not have a demo or guest speaker. Please bring your strips for the exchange and any other donated goods. We will go over the details for the Open House and Quilt Show. This is a great opportunity for our guild to give back to the local community and also introduce people to quilting. See you on Thursday!
Hugs,
Linda
