quilted, bound and preferably brought to show and tell during a meeting.

the reopened New Orleans McDonald’s house.

Quilt Show – Renee’ Hoeprich
Renee’ is the chair for our Annual Quilt Show this
year. Bring your quilts labeled and
with sleeve attached to be in the quilt show to our July meeting. Plan to be part of the hanging of the quilts
and changing the library into a colorful museum. Plus, we get to spend time with our quilting friends while doing
it.The quilts will go up August 1st. Demo day is scheduled for the 23rd. It is a wonderful day to share our love of
quilts and the art of quilting with the public young and old.
Charity Quilts – Merlene & Elsie
The guild will making charity quilts will go to
Generations Hospice, OLOL Children’s Hospital and The Cancer Services. We will also continue to make the stuffed
teddy bears to donate for the Children’s Hospital. The quilts you make need be no smaller than 50 x 60. You may use any pattern you wish. Need more bears sewn to be stuffed at the
Giving Quilt Show. Also discussed
wheelchair quilts that would be 36 x 26 inches.
Just Do It – Pam Tennyson
“Quilt in a Box” involves each member picking a block to
make for everyone. We will end up with
12 blocks that are 12 inches in size.
Pam has emailed the instructions.
We are also invited to enter The Giving Quilt challenge, which involves
making a quilt using the red dimple fabric as one of the fabrics in the
quilt.
