JULY PICNIC
The June 23 meeting/picnic will be at 6:00 PM at Maplewood Lake Club House. If you would like to come at 5:00 or 5:30, we can use some help setting up tables and chairs.  The guild will be furnishing Sprite, cheese and crackers, cups, plates, plastic ware and ice.  Bring a covered dish to share and the recipe to put in the newsletter, a drink if you would like something other than Sprite and a fat quarter if you would like to participate in the annual game of “Quilto”.  There will be a brief business meeting to report on the quilt show and we will have “Show and Tell”.
 
MONTHLY DOOR PRIZE
This year we are trying something different. 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.

FORT NEW SALEM
Helen Jones has asked us to make a quilt top for Fort New Salem.  The backing and batting have been donated.  She is willing to help with the expenses of fabric for the top She would like a traditional quilt.  She will have someone machine quilt it.  The quilt would be auctioned on the Fort’s web site.  Membership voted to do the quilt top at the May meeting.  We will have more details later on.

BLOCK OF THE MONTH
We started the Block of the Month in February. 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. If you missed a block Patsy Glotfelty will have extra copies of the patterns.
 
OCTOBER AUCTION
In October will invite the public to an auction. You can bring other handcrafted items such as baskets, knitted items, and woodwork items as well as quilt and sewing projects to be auctioned off.
