Our next meeting is on Tuesday,May 8, 2012 at the MIFO Centre, 6600 Carrière Street,
Orleans. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. and the meeting starts at 7:30 p.m.
Our spring social will feature the display of and the awarding of prizes to this year's challenge quilts. This meeting is also our Annual General Meeting, and there will of course be goodies, tea and cold drinks.
We will also have a Scavenger Hunt! Ladies - What's in Your Bag? For the social component of our May meeting, we'll have a fun scavenger hunt….into your purse, pockets and/or bags. Anything goes - we could be looking for a typical purse item, something quilting related, or maybe something that is really unusual! So come prepared to have lots of laughs as we discover any tendencies to your being a purse pack rat!
Shop of the Month: The Country Quilter
Fat Quarters Theme: Black and White and Red All Over
- Please return all library books and magazines at the beginning of the May meeting. We will be doing our annual inventory.
Reminders For the Quilt Show: (See page3 of the newsletter for further details)
- The drop off period begins Tuesday, May 1st through to Tuesday, May 8th. Please call ahead to one of the four drop off points to arrange for a drop off time.
- Your quilts will be available for pick-up at the Show at 5:00 pm on Sunday May 13th. Please ensure you bring a piece of identification with you when collecting your item(s).
- We still need some shifts covered for the Show, mainly in security and a few for 'White Glovers'. Security is not a strenuous position as you are able to sit during the shift. As a 'White Glover', time goes by very quickly as you mingle among the quilts and people! Remember that one volunteer shift = a free entry to the show! If you can, please do sign up at the May 8th meeting.
- Don't forget the sleeves that must be attached to all entries.
