The May meeting of the Camaco Quilt Guild was called to
order at 7:08 pm by our President, Donna. April meeting
minutes were voted & approved.
We welcomed one guest, Connie C.
The treasurer’s report was given by Bev, voted on &

Sunshine committee: no report
Badge committee: $1.50 collected
Ways & Means: no basket this month
Charity committee: Eleanor announced that there is
fabric, batting and backing available for anything being
made for charity. She has requested placemats would be
welcome along with quilts, walker bags, etc.
New business: It was discussed whether we should use
the 2nd Wednesday of July & August as a meeting night to
get together (no actual meeting) and sew. It was voted to
NOT meet the 2nd Wednesday of July & August, but to
continue with our normal Open Sew Wednesdays
throughout the summer.
Old business: Doreen reported the bus trip will be
Saturday, September 10, 2022. First stop will be
Burkholder’s and will end at Kitchen Kettle. It is
$30/member and $35/guest. We will need to fill a minimum
of 40 seats. Sign ups will be at June meeting with
payment. Final date to pay by August 15. See Doreen
regarding all bus info.
Programs: June is the month to turn in your “Tips, Tricks
& Techniques” to
program committee. Please share your
favorite methods for sewing, quilting, storing, etc!
JUNE is also the due date to participate in the HST
challenge! You have received some “ugly” fabric and the
challenge is to make it into a (max) 25” FINISHED project
with half square triangles as part of the design. So, top,
batting, backing and binding is a finish!
Hmmmm…placemats would make a good finish …. and a
charity piece too!!!
(Hint: 18 x 14” is a good placemat size) ….and before you
put those beautiful HSTs away, remember we have the…
Historic Cold Spring Village Quilt Show:
And the challenge is ALL ABOUT HSTs!!!!!! (see below)
Important dates: Show is June 25 & 26. Clare asks that
quilt & challenge pieces be in about June 16-17, but no
later than June 20th. Please see Clare for information and
registration forms. There is also a PDF on the HCSV
website.
Clare is asking for volunteers to help set up &/or be a
white glove lady during the hours of the show.
HCSV Challenge will be HST square, no larger than 12 ½”
x 12 ½” that will hang in the brewery during the quilt show
days. This is to be only the top as the squares will all be
sewn together as a quilt at a later date. (See? You can use
up your extra hst pieces!)
Let’s have a great turn out at HCSV as quilters &
volunteers!
Hospitality: Shirley thanked the volunteers for May
refreshments & announced names for June refreshments:
Bonnie C., Diane DeN., Doreen D., Helen E. and Joyce E.
Show & Tell, chatting & refreshments closed our meeting
for May.
June 8, 2022 @ 7:00pm is the next meeting.
Added:
****The squares for the HCSV quilt show challenge are to be 121/2" x 12 1/2" so that they will all fit together to be made into a quilt. I mistakenly wrote "no larger than."
Also, at the May meeting we were given a very informative and interesting presentation by the Program Committee on Flying Geese and several different ways that they can be made. Thanks for the presentation, ladies!
See you all next Wednesday! Have a good & sunny weekend.
ConnieSee you
there!
