Additional information on registration, vendors, possibly an appraiser, classes and lectures will be on our website as soon as we finalize everything. The boutique table will return to the show this year. In addition to any items you would like to make, we would like to have items cleaned out of you sewing room. Items similar to the items offered at the silent auction, old quilting magazines, books, U.F.O.s and other quilting oriented items that are in your way.

RAFFLE QUILT
Patsy Glotfelty is in charge of the raffle tickets, please, see Patsy to turn in any money for tickets that you have sold or if you need additional tickets. The current raffle quilt has been named: Millennium Civil War Sampler.
Pat Gray and Dorothy Swick are in charge of the next raffle quilt, please, remember to return any blocks you took kits for in January. The new raffle quilt will have a Christmas theme.

COOKBOOK
We would like to have a cookbook published in time for the Quilt Show. If every member turned in 3 recipes we would have 150 recipes, but feel free to turn in more than 3. Please, email your recipes in through the website, if your are on-line; if you are not on-line bring them to the meeting.

FAT QUARTER DRAWING
The theme for February is: fabric with hearts. Please bring two fat quarters - one for the 2008 Quilt Show basket and one for the drawing. The theme for December was cold, snowy wintery prints, won by Judy Osbourne.

MONTHLY DOOR PRIZE
If it's your birthday month, you bring a door prize worth not less than $5.00 and no more than $10.00. For example if you have a July birthday you bring a door prize to the July meeting. If we have three people bringing prizes we will have three drawings. The door prizes may be purchased or you can go through your sewing room (or chocolate) stash and put together a "goodie bag" of whatever. Please wrap them or put them in a bag. January Birthdays were: Donna Eakle and Jackie Harper. Door prize winners were: Donna Eakle and Becky Smolski.

NAMETAG
Remember to wear your name tag for the name tag drawing. If you forget your name tag you put a quarter in the bag, when it come around. The winner can usually afford to buy at least a couple yards of fabric at the end of the year, when we have the name tag drawing.

BLOCK OF THE MONTH
We started the Block of the Month in February 2007. This project will run for twenty months. A twelve inch finished size block was decided on. In other words we will be making twelve and a half inch blocks each month, and we will each keep our own blocks to make into a quilt. Tana Hall and Patsy Glotfelty brought the next two patterns that were passed out. If you have missed a block Patsy Glotfelty will have extra copies of the patterns.

SPRING SEW-IN
We have reserved Lost Creek Community Center for April 19th, for our Spring Sew-in. We will have the chance to work on our U.F.O.s, a Mystery Project, Boutique items or all of the above. Mainly to have a really “quilty“ good time together.
