Ladies,

        Well, the quilt show is over for another year!  I am so proud to have been part of it this year.  All the comments that have come my way have been totally positive.  My customers have all told me what a wonderful show we had.  The janitors at the school told me what a great group we have.  There was no complaining and everything was well taken care of.  The vendors all tell us that we take care of them better than any other show they go to.  It all makes me proud to be a member of this guild.  I want to thank all of you who volunteered to help on the committees with Kathy and me this year.  You all did a wonderful job.  And to all the volunteers who helped with sitting up the show, taking down, floor walking, the vendor lunch, and the many other facets of the show- THANK YOU!.  And it's not to early to start thinking about next year.  Please give it some thought in the next few weeks.  Already, some have volunteered to be committee chairs, so let's get the ball rolling and see what we might do next year.  Again thank you for all the hard work and making this year's show such a success,
                                                      Connie

Missing Infor ?????

Cattle Country Quilts sold a pattern to a tall blond, very pretty woman at our quilt show.  The woman paid in cash fro the pattern, " Horsin Around".  However, Cass Botts at Cattle Country, can't read the name or address on her receipt!

So, if you're the one who bought this pattern and are waiting patiently for it in the mail, you'll need to contact them with your information.

Thanks to our Members:

I was so surprised by the quilt you gifted me at the last meeting.  I am not sure if it was in memory of Hal or my second year of being president,  but I am truly thankful.  Your kindness and support the last three years has made my life easier.  Quilt friends are the best; you patch broken hearts back together!

Sincerely, Nancy Krueger 

Comfort Quilt News

          I received 48 comfort quilts since last report.  Thank you to all who have stepped p to the plate and helped with the quilting of all the tops I had on hand.  There are less than 20 tops and backs at Patrick's waiting to be quilted.  That number is down quite a ways from what it has been.
            Keep up the good work on the Ugly Fabric Challenge. I see some creative things going on, like using the ugly fabric for the back of a quilt, or using it for many, many bindings on quilts.  Some people took two ugly fabrics and have combined them into one lovely top.  Prizes awarded for this project at the June picnic.
            Upcoming comfort quilt days are Monday June 2nd, and a "Saturday Sew" on July 19th.  Both will be held at Patrick's craft shop and start at 10AM.  Bring sewing machine, basic sewing supplies and get to know some of your fellow quilters.
Quilts going out this week as follow:
6 lap robes to Clarkston Care Center               
7 lap robes to Veteran's Home
6 lap robes to St. Joe's Mental Health
7 lap robes to Lewiston Rehab
6 lap robes to Tender Care Homes
6 lap robes to Life Care Center
7 quilts to Pregnancy Care Center

Keep Up The Good Work! Pam Smith

Quilt Show news:

     Ladies, you were awesome! Ticket sales for the Quilt Raffle totaled $4221.10.  Our quilt was on display some where every month.  Outside sales were 48% of all the sales,  member tickets were 52%, so you see, we could not have completed such a task without you.  Yes, I know the quilt was gorgeous, so I would like to thank Jennifer and her crew of helpers for making our job easy.  When you have a quilt that beautiful as you ladies produced, ticket sales were a snap.  THE quilt winner was Sandy White and the person selling the winning ticket was Marilyn Kidder.
     I really want to thank each and everyone of you that gave up on YOUR weekends to sell tickets for the guild. On behalf of the guild, in saying THANK YOU, we would like to award the person selling the most tickets, JEAN Martin 172 tickets.
     Also, this year there were times I spent calling and begging workers for some of these functions and we would like to give something to Judy Foust and Virginia Sparkman for signing up for the most functions to sell tickets.

I have to say I'm sorry I have been a little relaxed on the website this past couple of months.  Between the show, family emergencies, vacation and illness I didn't get things updated as quickly as I would have liked.  Again I'm sorry and we are back with it.

Thanks for understanding
