MAY 9th MEETING

PROGRAM: At our May meeting, our speaker Eleanor Levie will present a lecture/trunk show of quilted tote bags from her latest book.

**** AS PART OF THE PROGRAM, we will have a "fashion show" of Eleanor's wearables and our own, SO IF YOU HAVE A QUILTED GARMENT, WEAR IT TO THE MEETING!!

BLOCK OF THE MONTH - Try to make at least one block - maybe this will be your month to win...

CHARITY - if you have taken home any charity quilts to complete, please bring them in, also any blocks or fabric donations. Of course, preemie quilts (give to Claire) and pillowcases (Jane) are always welcome and are distributed to charities all year long. ESPECIALLY NEEDED THIS MONTH: Polyester batting. If you have any to share, please bring it tonight!

TEDDY BEAR CLOTHES - More teddy bears should be available this month. Keep knitting those miniature sweaters and making skirts/pants to go along with them!

NON-PERISHABLE FOOD DONATIONS - Any items donated will go to Samaritan Center as usual. All donations are greatly appreciated.

FAT QUARTER SWAP - Don't forget to bring your Fat Quarter for the swap. Participation was very low last year - let's try to remember from now on. This month's color is: Civil War Repros. For the full list of Fat Quarter Colors for the year, click here.

DOOR PRIZES - If you signed up for door prizes, don't forget to bring them. $10 value, NEW items only, and please put your name on the wrapping.
