Good Evening, I hope everyone has had a great weekend. The wind was a liitle more than I would have like on Saturday, but Sunday was beautiful.
Just a reminder of our May meeting on the 25th. We need to discuss the picnic in June and also talk about the presidents quilt for future years.
Carol Dekert needs your squares to support our College for Kids in July. She is looking for 2.5 inch squares for 9 patch blocks. If you could provide 2 colors that will work for a 9 patch and the brighter the better.
We had 29 members in April and after a long discussion we voted to not have the Quilt Show in 2009 and revisit the plans for 2010 at a later meeting.
Hope to see you May 25th.
Linda
