Message from the president

Hello Ladies of the Pueblo West Quilt Guild
Meeting Tuesday March 3rd , 7 P.M. Ecumenical Church 434 S. Conquistador Pueblo West, CO.

I enjoyed and think the rest of the ladies enjoyed the making of the bowls
at the February meeting. I am looking forward to seeing some of them at our
show and tell in March. There are lots of shapes and embellishments you can do to them.
The March block of the month is interesting. Hope we'll have lots of them.

Hostesses for March are Heidi Gard and Julie Gillespie. Lets keep it simple. Water and a flavored drink, brownies, cookies or another kind of bar.

Denise from The Creative Cloth Closet will be our guest speaker for our March
meeting.
I'm excited with what she's going to show us. Denise will have some for
sale items. How fun :)

We will also be starting a fat quarter drawing. So everyone bring one fat quarter to the meeting. Winner will take all fat quarters home!!!

This will be the last reminder, if you want to be a member of the guild and continue getting a newsletter your dues have to be paid.

If you are a previous member and your dues aren't paid yet $24.00 in full is due at this time.
See you soon.
MARY

PWQ LUV QUILT GUILDELINES

Pueblo West Quilters will provide batting for members who wish to make LUV Quilts for donation to the community. The following are guidelines to help facilitate this.

Batting is provided only to PWQ members in good standing.

A finished quilt must be returned to the club within 3 months after receiving the batting or the member will be responsible for paying for the batting or can return the batting in the same condition in which it was received.

Standard sizes of batting for crib (46" x 60"), lap (60" x 60") and twin (63"x 84") size quilts will be pre-cut and available at regular PWQ meetings. Other sizes can be requested and it is the responsibility of the member to arrange getting the batting if outside of the regular meeting. Please make your request through the current Vice President.

Completed LUV Quilts are shown at a regular PWQ meeting. The maker is then awarded a small thank you charm and name is then placed into a drawing for a larger thank you gift at the annual Holiday Party. Each LUV quilt donated earns a charm and an entry into the end of year drawing..

The Executive Board encourages the making of Patriot quilts for the Westcliffe based Eagle Summit Ranch rehab facility. Janet Flick is the coordinator for the project. Batting for these quilts is also available through PWQ. Wounded Warrior quilts need to be no smaller than twin size (63" x 84") and can be up to full size (79" x 87"). .

If you have any questions or wish to assist, please contact the current President or Vice President.
