May 2013 Meeting

The may meeting was my first time playing Quilto.  What fun.  Close to 20 ladies and one young gentleman played and won fat quarters.  Many members brought door prizes and Debbie made lemon bars.

A couple of members are needed to sell tickets at the ribfest for the opportunity quilt.  There will be a handful of opportunities to sit with the quilt before the Quilt Show in October.  If you could just plan to do one shift, it would alleviate the burden for the few that seem to do it all the time.  Contact Janet Haas as soon as possible as the rib Fest is next weekend.

May 28th from 10-3 at the Crazy 9 Patch is a work party for putting together the quilt block kits for the 2014 opportunity quilt.  If you know how to do the freezer paper method of applique (or would like to learn) please join us.  You need to bring the following:

A salad ingredient or 2 ( I will provide the lettuce and dressing and croutons)
ironing pad and small iron
spray starch in container
small stencil brush
stylus
paper scissors
a smile

If we can get 6 or 7 volunteers, I think we can get most of it done that day-ready to hand out at the June meeting.  Please call me (760-789-2083) or email (eswatniki@sbcglobal.net) if you can join us.
