June 2019 Meeting Recap

And the Raffle Quilt Goes to...

Chris E.! Congratulations! 


Announcements

• We have 2 new Board members. Tina Marney is President, and Ariane Zurcher is Secretary. Good luck to you both!
• Make sure to sign up early for our next guild year. It's easier to plan our great programs when we have collected dues and have a headcount.
• We have 25 members attending the retreat; should be fun!

Coat of Arms
Sue E. added this improv patch using fabrics that match the original jacket.

Ellen Y. took the jacket next.

Charity

The last of the blocks for the St. Vincent's quilts are in. The quilts will be quilted and finished by our October meeting.

 Bundles of fabric were made and distributed for baby quilts and pillowcases, from the fabric donated by Candy's Quilting. There will be more fabric to use at the retreat. These items will be due in December.

Block Lotto

This month's blocks were won by Jean R.
