Okay, for some reason my last post shows up blank, so I will try again. Our July 13th meeting will be our garage sale. Members are welcome to reserve a table to sell new and gently used quilt related items. Contact Sophie Collier if you are interested in having a table.
Guests are welcome to join us at no charge for a brief meeting followed by shopping!
We are currently requesting volunteers to fill the following Board positions: Secretary/Newsletter, Program Chair, and Vice President. Please contact Mary Nordeng if you would bbe interested in taking on one of these positions. We want to keep the guild a vital and inspiring group. Membership involvement is key to the success of the guild.
I am very excited about our upcoming programs. The October meeting's featured speaker will be Nancy Wick. Nancy will be giving a presentation on threads and batting, as well as sharing her fabulous quilts with us. Nancy also has a new book which she will have available at the October meeting.
In January our program will be presented by Julie Harstad. Julie will be speaking about Modern Quilts and her approach to quilting these quilts. Julie has been teaching at various shows and has her own pattern line of gorgeous quilts.
I am off to continue purging my studio and will have lots of goodies to sell at the garage sale.
I look forward to seeing everyone and shopping to replace everything I am selling. Isn't that why we clear out our studios..to make room for more?

UMMQ President
