JUNE 2018 Volume 38 Issue 6

Notes from the President Hello Quilters, What a great day we had on Thursday.  So many great quilts at the museum.  I am hoping to take some friends to look at them.  I also enjoyed the luncheon.  It was nice to have such a big turn out.  Thanks to all who helped hang the quilts and those who have given me help though out the year.   There are so many things to do this summer.  Don’t forget workday next Thursday and Quilt of Valor Day in July, and also the quilt show in Columbia. Hot summer days are great times to get some quilting done.  I will see you all at our meeting in August.  Happy Quilting,Beth Twedell

QSC Notes

QSC will cohostThe Quilting Expo in Columbia July 20, 21. If you have submitted a quilt for the exhibit, you can contact Harriett, Beth, or Frances if you wish to have them deliver and return your quilt. The show will host quilt exhibits as well as a variety of vendors.

The President’s challenge (Lynn Baker is our president) for this year is loggerhead turtles. The quilt should not exceed 40 X 40. It can be pieced, appliqued, embellished, whatever you wish. The design can be your own or from a pattern (give credit to the designer) and must be image copyright free.

The block party for the Spring Meeting is a 12.5 inch square with the theme “Ticket to Ride.”
