Today has been a gong show!!!!

I needed to do this blog and I could not access the original blog so I had to start a NEW one.   Sometimes computers have a way of making your life terrible and today was one of those days...  This almost sounds like the beginning of the last Blog.  hahahaha


May Meeting

First of all... we had a few new guests!   That was exciting.

The stitch and chat was announced for Saturday and we had a great time. Chatting about the guild meetings and sewing and all sorts of things.  It was so nice visiting with everyone that showed up.

Sue gave out ribbons to everyone that got ribbons from the Quilt show. (I got a first and third that mysteriously disappeared) and there were many great winners as pictured below.

We had a great speaker that talked about the barn quilts in PEC and got some of us enthused to take a barn work class so we could make out own barn quilts.

Nancy Wolvers gave a report on the income from the quilt show.  .. Woot Woot!  We made money!

Betsy made a request that people put their names on the transfer comments section to make it easier for membership to know who paid. This is our preferred method of payment but we will accept cash or cheque at the membership desk during the break at the June or September meeting!

November all chats use this link:  link to chats November has arrived, and it seems to have blown in on a chilly wind! The time changed last night—but I find it interesting that my dog doesn’t care. He doesn’t understand that 5 o’clock has become 4 o’clock… he still wants his dinner  right on time.   (And I’ll admit… I ate earlier tonight as well! 😂) November brings new quilting responsibilities. Suddenly, all those months where we confidently said,  “Plenty of time to finish the Christmas projects!”  are gone. Now it’s crunch time, and the sewing room calls. If you’re anything like me, you might find yourself adding the final stitches on Christmas Eve… sometimes right into the early hours of Christmas morning.

We will continue to hold our quilt shows at the Best and Bash. The new venue is suitable, with no stairs, ample parking, and availability on the same night as our current meetings. It includes a snacks and coffee area, space for Brinhild's exhibit, a coat rack, a library area, and room for workshops, with a few exceptions.
