June 11 Program Meeting

Hello!

If you haven’t heard, the forecast for Tuesday is 108 degrees. Before you groan, keep in mind we need the heat in order to get to the thunderstorms and rain… some of us like that action. (As long as the safety of the indoors is available.)

No monsoons are forecast for Tuesday, and we have a great evening planned at Cactus Patchers. Heidi Pridemore of The Whimsical Workshop will present, we have more Motley Bazaar items to sell, and we know you’ll bring some fun and inspirational show-n-tell items!

See you Tuesday!

May 14, 2019 Meeting

Happy! It's finally time for our Small Quilt Exchange! Bring your small quilt wrapped and ready for some fun!

• Requirements: whatever makes you happy! to fit perimeter 48” to 96” and made this year. 

Show and Tell!

• We ran out of time for show-n-tell last month due to the Motley Bazaar... therefore we are having a humdinger of a show-n-tell this month!
• Bring any from last month (if still in your possession)
• Bring new from this month!
• Bring your oldest UFO (if you dare!)

April financial reports were emailed to members... we were so successful with the Motley Bazaar we may not need a fundraiser for a while!

• Thanks go to Tall Nancy for organizing such a profitable event! 
• And thanks to Laura for passing on donated fabric for our benefit!
• And thanks go to all of you who donated goods and services!

Hope to see you Tuesday!
