Message from Guild President:
Sewing Sisters,
I loved seeing the photo of this year's Raffle Quilt Winner. Adorbs! Thank you each for your contributions in making this a wonderful Raffle Quilt year.
We've had a great sew day on Saturday and last month I had the opportunity of making a Barn Quilt with Pat Beeler. I love the opportunity to create and how much cooler when I get to create with the ones I love! I'm very much looking forward to our August Sew Day when Sherry Gray will be teaching us how to make her fabulous quilt bag!
What to do before tomorrow night:
Please the attached minutes from last month so that we can make any corrections and vote on them.
Also, look over the proposed 2017/2018 Budget so that we can discuss them.
