October 11th Meeting - Don't Forget!

What a wonderful speaker we had last month - HelleMay Cheney, who brought a fabulous trunk show of quilts, many of which have appeared in major quilting magazines and shows. Thank you for inspiring us to take the next step with our quilts. Check out Helle May's website and blog: http://www.hellemaydesigns.com/.

For our October meeting, there will be no program - we are anticipating reports on our upcoming Quilt Display on October 9th. Don't forget to tell your friends! There may be some charity quilts ready for tying, although we already have November set aside for the majority of the quilts.

Please bring back any remaining CHARITY BLOCKS, so that we can put them together for quilts to be distributed as soon as possible. The same goes for any charity quilts that you took home for sandwiching.

BLOCK OF THE MONTH
