Hello Friends,
Hope you have a wonderful Easter!
Thank you to the Refreshment Committee, Pat Nahal, Leigh Burba, Jean Mindock,
Becky Schroeder, Marty Greenlee, Brenda Arnett, Pat McMillian and Beth Hunter. The
meal was wonderful.
Linda Griffin joined in February, please make her welcome!
I would like to thank Martha Claycomb for the presentation of the Scarf and Toilet top-
per and Patty Pruitt for the sharing the video on making straight seams and pressing.
They were very informative and will give us all something new to make and help us do
the seams and pressing better.
Remember if you want your Vets lap quilts quilted free just call anyone on the list be-
low. Here is the list of those who volunteered: Beth Hunter (270-900-4564), Teresa
Jenkins (270-506-7996), Brenda Arnett 270-234-3978), Tia Kennedy (270-828-3901),
Pat McMillian (270-272-3041) and Darlene Chenault (270-401-1404.) They will quilt
for you and then give back to you to do the binding.
The Quilters Day out February 27th in Shepherdsville was lots of fun. I hope you were
able to go.
The 2016 Quilt Show committee is coming together. There is still plenty of room for
more help.
Our next monthly meeting is March 30th; See you there!
