*** Home Made Starch Recipe from Paula;
Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch w/ teaspoons of cold water in a 2-cup heat proof glass measuring cup. Boil 1-cup water and add to mixture, stir constantly. Mix will turn chalky white to milky translucent. Let cool to room temp, then add water to make 2 cups of solution. Put into spray bottle and shake well before each use. Because of no preservatives a new batch will need to be made every week.
See how that works for ya. I wonder if you can make 1/2 batches?

September All Day Quilting in Baker

Hello, quilters.

   Marj Coffman has reserved the Senior Center in Baker for September's All Day Quilting.  T & D's Cafe, there in Baker, will prepare lunch and is excited for us to come.  I'm sure we can order in advance and they'll have it prepared. 

   Marj is referring to her Miniature Trip Around the World Quilt as "that horrible little quilt" so if anyone remembers how that goes together, maybe you would consider helping Marj that day.

   For those of you who are new to the Guild, Marj came from Baker to Ely almost every All Day to quilt with us for many years. We never went there.  Marj no longer drives.  So now, we go to Baker to quilt with Marj once a year, for sure.

   Please be kind enough to pass this info on to those quilters not having email.

Smiles to each of you.

Linda Sue

Sell your quilts at Garnets

Would you please post a notice on the blog to the effect that if any of the quilters have any quilts they would like to sell, to please see Robin at Garnet Mercantile right away - asap - like this week. 

  Garnet is having a "Night of Fashion" on the 18th of June from 6 - 9 and they would like to have a few quilts to display for sale.  I think she said it would be a 70/30 split.  I can't really remember.
