Please note that the May quilt show &
challenge is a HUGE job & more help is required to help
pull this off successfully! Last year’s prizes were phenomenal,
& it’s a tough act to follow, but we’ll try! Please consider adding
your name to the sign-up list.
The Challenge
Committee presented the rules for this year's challenge at the September
meeting. For those who may have missed it: In honor of the
year 2010, there are 20 rules listed, and you must choose 10 of those for your
challenge. (Don't panic - it's not that hard!!!) In
addition, you must use some of the fat quarter that is provided. As
usual, your piece must be finished (quilted, bound, labeled) in time for our
May meeting in order to be part of the contest.
We voted at Sept.
meeting that ALL work must be done yourself, including the quilting.
Packets and rules will be available again at the October meeting.

DOOR PRIZE - Marie Lavoie ($1.00 raffles)
COMMUNITY SERVICE - Lisa Marchi & Dorie Appel
2009/2010 Community Service Project
to be explained at a future meeting; we will be helping needy families in liaison with PROJECT LIFE of Newburgh
*TIP OF THE MONTH
Can’t remember where I read this so I can’t give due
credit but I love this! To keep your lint roller from sticking to things you don’t want it to stick
to (like rulers, etc) glue a pretty fabric to a drink mix container using tacky glue. I used a Crystal Light can-4 cup size-&
Aleene’s tacky glue. The lint roller, even when full, fits in here perfectly.
Do you have a tip or anecdote to share?
This is your newsletter & we’d enjoy input from everyone. Please send to pgrimm@hvc.rr.com by the 25th of next month. If you read it in a magazine, etc. please give
credit to the author. Thank you.
