*In a previous email
Pam suggested having a sew-in before the guild meeting
each month. Several people had mentioned that they
wanted to do something in the guild that would help them
improve their quilting skills. Anyone interested should
arrive at the meeting hall at 4:00 PM with their
project, machine, and necessary items to work on
whatever project they desire. Anyone who doesn't mind
helping new sewers is welcomed to come join in the fun.
This sounds like it would be a good time for finishing
the BOM or the BOM for the drawing.
There will be a
drawing at our June Guild meeting for a Prairie Paisley
Stars quilt top kit. Each member will have her name
entered one time into the drawing if yearly dues are
paid (which are due next month).
Norma clued us in on
the morning club suggestion to have a licensed quilting
teacher at the next quilt show. There may be a problem
since our quilt show is the same time as the Paducah
Quilt Show.
The quilt guild
By-Laws need to be updated. One such update should be
made to include club minutes going out on the internet.
If you know of any updates that need to be made please
make the club aware at the next meeting.

will be the first weekend in June.

sew-in should arrive at 4:00. Don't forget to bring your
neutral fat quarter for the drawing. And bring sew 'n

sister but haven't been able to reciprocate please let
Mary or Pam know your intentions.

I'd like to add that

with the fat quarter color or type. As the new BOM

if that's agreeable to everyone.
