The first Committee Meeting for the quilt show has been scheduled for the Douglas Rec Centre, 20550 Douglas Cres., Langley on Tuesday June 9 from 3 - 5pm.
If you've never been involved in a quilt show, please feel welcome and bring all your ideas. There are lots of opportunities to work in areas that suit you and with others who have done it before.
"The Threads That Bind Us" will become the theme for the next quilt show.
The Raffle Quilt Committee has been formed. Thanks to Carrie, Torrianne, Mary, Maria, Mimi, Liz and Deb.
Kits will be available at the May meeting for members to make blocks for the Raffle Quilt . Be sure to pick up your kit and contribute to this project. The quilt will be kingsize...also a queensize for volunteers to win plus other possible prizes.
Directions to make the bow tie blocks are available here.
