takes all of us working together!

2016 Opportunity Quilt
Bring all your unsold tickets to
the September meeting!!
Turn in your ticket stubs to
Patty along with any funds you
have collected.
We NEED Show Volunteers…. To work various jobs while we have guests/viewers and
for Setup and Take Down.
To Volunteer for a Demo or man a table (Admissions, Door Prizes, Opportunity Tick-
ets, ect) Please call Virginia Coomes 270-422-3437.
To help in the Café, please call Debbie McQueary 270-765-5017.
We welcome all members, husbands, boyfriends, kids and friends to help setup and
take down. We start on Thursday morning at the Fairgrounds at 7:30 to load the trail-
er and then at about 8 unloading at the Pritchard Center.
It takes nearly all day on Thursday to get the show ready, so if you cannot be there
first thing in the morning, your help will be appreciated at any time during the day!
Take Down begins at 5:15 on Saturday and goes pretty fast. However, due to quilt
pickup, we will need to wait for directions before disassembling the show. We will
gather in Café area, to await our instructions.
Last notes for the Quilt
Stitchers,
Thank you so much for all the donations to the Country Store. Based on the mountains of fabric I'm drowning in right
now, this should be one of our best shows yet! As always, you came through for us. There's one more thing we could
use and that's grocery/shopping bags. It's amazing how many of those we go through! If you could drop them off the
day we set up for the show, that would be perfect.
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the volunteers who spent many hours helping to sort and price all our dona-
tions. Without your help, I'd have a nervous breakdown! That being said, I'd like to raise my glass of lemonade in a
toast to Joleen, Martha Brooks, Kathy Mitchell, Peggy, and Jim for sharing your valuable time in helping me. I'd also
like to give a special thanks--and a big hug--to my husband, James, for putting up with the many boxes and bags he's
been working around and helping to carry in from the car.
Again, thank you for all your donations!

Attention!!! Loucon Retreat!
Kelly Pruitt
We need a minimum of 15 attendees for Loucon, as of
9/11 we only had/have 9 signed up. If you are interested
in attending the retreat this year DON’T WAIT, Call Kelly.
The retreat is lots of fun and a great time to get last mi-
nute Christmas projects done.
Loucon is scheduled for November 10-13. We have a huge
bright room with lots of windows. Everyone has their own
table and cutting tables are set up for everyone to
use. The bedrooms are downstairs below the workroom,
so you can sew in your pajamas. The workroom has
coffee pots with coffee or hot chocolate provide and
there is a popcorn machine with the popcorn provided. Of
course we always bring lots of treats to share, because
what's a retreat without chocolate and other good snacks
to eat. Meals are provided by the staff at Loucon.
Wouldn't you love a few days away from home with all
your quilting buddies, no meals to prepare, no chores or
dishes to get done. Just a few days of sewing, socializing
and maybe learning a few new things.
There is the chance to run to Whittles (and who wants to
miss that) and of course Sew Much More.
And I bet there will be door prizes once again!!!
Beside all of the above, it is a great chance to get all those
last minute Christmas projects done.
Sign-up sheets are out at the meetings, so get signed up
and your deposits made. You don't want to miss out.
Cost for the entire weekend including meals is
$159.00. Sign up will be available at the August meeting.
Registration Form will be sent in separate email. Contact
Kelly Pruitt with any questions .
Sponsored by Cherrywood Fabrics. Any quilter was
invited to participate, using the specific fabric from
Cherrywood. Our Member Joleen Filler, participated
and made it to the top, out of 320 submitted quilts!!!
Not part of the traveling group, but her quilt (above )
will be in the forthcoming book!!! Well done Joleen.
