Hope you had a wonderful and thoughtful Memorial Day, remembering
those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to insure the freedoms we
should not take for granted.
June’s PWQ program will be a demonstration by Denise Hovey of Creative
Cloth Closet in Canon City. She always has fun, new ideas and
techniques for us. She will have some items from her shop for sale at
the meeting, so you might want to bring extra checks or that green
stuff.
Some reminders: Colorado Quilting Council meeting on June 23, 2012 is
in Pueblo. Please bring a fat quarter to donate for the attendees of
the CQC meeting. Canon City is hosting the July 28 CQC and I encourage
you to support that meeting also. As of this writing, there still are
spaces available for the Rob Appel workshop on July 29, in Canon City.
Go to the CQC website to find out more information.
We only have a few fabrics left that was donated to the club for
fundraising for sale at $4.00/yd. Support your club, get fabric!
Remember to bring your completed squares from the strips you cut at
the April PWQ meeting for Ben and Gabby's quilt. Return all left over
fabric pieces with your squares at the meeting as they will be used in
the borders and binding. There will be a SEW Saturday at the PW
Library from 9:00am to 4:00pm on June 9. Please plan to come and help
sew the squares together, even for only a few minutes. Calling all
long arm quilters to offer to quilt Ben and Gabby’s quilt. Please
submit a written bid by the July 9th meeting for this queen sized
quilt for consideration by the Board. The quilt must be quilted by the
Aug 6th meeting so the border can be put on and the quilt completed by
the Sept 10 meeting.
