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.

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.

Thanks a bunch.

The Man Quilt

Here's the 12 block center of "The Man Quilt". For those that missed the last few meetings, it's a secret so you have to make a meeting to find out or call a member! All I can say is it's to help raise money for the Relay for Life. I delivered the top to Melody on Saturday to receive it's final pieced border. 1 guess on with border Melody puts on it! :)

Also please make sure your membership dues are paid to one of the officers. You can pay monthly, quarterly or yearly! Whatever fits your budget...

Quilt show info updated

I've added info on 2 more upcoming quilt show within driving distance on the right side bar. Please let myself or Doris M know if you come across any others. Thanks, Teresa
