Farmersville Quilt Guild: MAY 2017 IS A SURPRISE?

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.

What to bring:

21/2 inch strips Width of Fabric for ourTAGQ Rally donation

Look at the fabric color choice,
there are 3 different fabrics, can you tell?
Not so good fabric color choices.
The one to the right (QOV) is the same pattern
but better color choices.

Too cool
