May Meeting Reminder

Our next general meeting is this coming Saturday, May 16th. We meet at a lovely quilt shop called Stitchcraft, which is convenient for the fabric hounds among us (and who isn't?)

We have a fun agenda planned, including recaps of visits to the AQG Quilt Week in Paducah, and Sewtopia in Chicago. We are also being treated to an appliqué demonstration.  Of course we'll have the usual BOM lottery and Show & Tell. And we'll be launching our guild Quilt-a-Long!

If you are already a member, we'll be asking everyone to sign in at this meeting so that we can keep our membership and mailing lists up to date.

If you are not yet a member - it's easy to join! We do not currently charge any membership dues, so all you need to do is turn up and a meeting and fill in a form.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.  Until then, happy stitching!
