President's Message
Hope everyone is enjoying summer so far. Today as I write this the weather is so humid, I just want to dangle my legs in a cool swimming pool. I find it hard to want to sew or quilt with this weather. I’m so glad I finally finished a baby quilt last week, although it was 7 months late ! Our quilt show committee is working extremely hard to get ready, so we want to see all our guild members attend. It’ll be great ! I’ll be selling raffle tickets, so stop by to say hi and make a lucky purchase ! Good luck to all who buy some. Looking forward to seeing you.
Happy sewing !
Cheryl
YQG Trivia
January and February 2005 the guild did a service project for our programs.In January we were divided into groups of 6. We had 6 different demo tables that showed us
the blocks that would be in the ABC quilts that we would put together during the February meeting.
It was a row quilt and each member of the 6 would make 6 block for their row.The sets of blocks, due in February, were assembled and quilted. It was lots of fun!
