PROMOTING & PERPETUATING THE ART OF QUILTING

President – Beth Medeiros Road Trip!!!!!

If you are interested in signing up for the caravan headed to the

Pineapple Fabric Outlet in Archdale, NC, please contact Barbara

Jackson. The Outlet has everything from pre-cuts to wide-back fabrics.

We are headed to the sale on 5 Aug; the drive is about two hours. A

quick story for you; I love to go on road trips to frequent fabric shops.

Every time my travel partner in crime, Mary Dane and I hit the road, it

is always an adventure. We don’t get lost we just see parts of the State

we didn’t know existed!!! Without fail it rains, so be sure to pack an

umbrella and be ready for a fun time!

I would like everyone to take just a moment to remember Dot Atchley;

she absolutely loved to make and deliver baby quilts to the NICU and

had such a wonderful wit. She will be missed.

Finally, don’t forget about the “Boys of Summer” baby quilt challenge

for July. I cannot wait to see what everyone creates!!!

The cafeteria (room where we meet) will be under renovation for the next two months. We will be meeting on the opposite side of the facility in the gymnasium. If anyone is interested in demonstrating hand sewing at the Carver's Creek Festival in October, please let me know.

VA Quilt Coordinator By: Cindy Clifton

No one claimed the two unsigned quilts

donated for the VA at the May meeting.

We received 3 lovely quilts at the June

meeting. Those donating this month were:

Joy Cannady; MaryLou Dibling; Marlene

Brudvig.

This brings our total to 61

Baby Quilt Coordinator By: Mary Lou Dibling

What a wonderful response to a request for baby boy

quilts! Thirty quilts were donated in June by Marlene

Brudvig-5, MaryLou Dibling-4, Sana Moulder-4, Nancy

Moore, Gladys Pedigrew, Sonia Blue, Beth Medeiros,

Mary Dane, Mildred Davisand Akimi Simmons-each 2,

and Debbie Grace, Rhonda Gooding and Pat Paulson-

each 1. Many thanks to all. The total included 18

boys, 8 girls and two girl/boy twin sets.

On Tuesday, Virgie Baxley, Judi Fipps, Marlene

Brudvig and I enjoyed delivering 24 quilt to the NICU.

There were 15 boys and 9 girls in the nursery, along

with several parents who expressed ow much they

loved the quilt they received from our guild.

In July, we will have a challenge, Boys in Summer!!

There will be a prize for one maker of these quilts, as

well as perhaps for each maker of a baby boy quilt!!

Put on your thinking cap and make a boy quilt to bring

to the next meeting!! We have 45 girl quilts on hand

and only 27 boy quilts. That seems like a lot of boy

quilts, but only TEN of those are single quilt, the other

fifteen are multiples.

The estate of Harriet Creech donated $100.00

towards the baby Quilts. We thank them for their

kind and generous donation.
