Charity – Margareta reported that the dog beds
need to be made of heavy material or doubled thinner material because the dogs
are ripping them open and making a mess! The sew day in May was spent using our
heavier fabrics into sturdier dog bed covers. The bags will be available at the
meetings for everyone to use for their scraps. Next sew day is scheduled for
June 24th at 1:00pm at the Millman Center.
·
Program – Gail reminded everyone that the
rectangle challenge is due in June, please bring in in a brown bag, have your
named on the back and your quilt title pinned to the front. There are some
great prizes to win!

will be holding a yard sale of gently used books and quilting supplies at the

Our meeting was held at the Green Creek Fire Hall due to an
accident at the Millman Center early Weds morning thanks to the quick work of
our members, especially Helen who was able to secure the fire hall for us.
Thank you Green Creek Fire Hall for accommodating us once again on short
notice!
We had a very interesting lecture on how http://terrykramzar.com gets her inspiration from adventures in nature. She shared a slide show
of her artist in residency positions at the Grand Canyon National Park and
Everglades National Park, and followed it up with a beautiful trunk show
highlighting the quilts that were inspired by her life experiences. On Thursday
she taught a workshop using her quilt as you go technique. We are so fortunate
to have had such a great lecture and workshop available to us, thank you Terry
for some great inspiration! Gail, Clare and the rest of the program committee
thank you for organizing such a nice meeting and workshop!
There was no show n tell due to a lack of time after our
presentation.
**The Millman Center contacted us to let us know the Millman
is structurally sound and available for use. Our meetings will continue to be
held at the Millman as usual.
Next meetings notes: Rectangle Challenge is due, see
above for directions on bringing your project to the meeting. Bring $cash$ for
Ways & Means Committee’s yard sale!
