Guild Activities Booth at Quilt Show
We would like to have three to five baskets that we could raffle off at the booth. It will help draw in attendees to learn more about our guild, as well as hopefully raise some additional monies for guild activities that give back to the community through the Community Quilts and Veterans Quilts projects.
We are not looking for one individual to put a basket together, but maybe a group of guild members, say six to eight people to a group. We need the baskets to be quilting/sewing-focused new items, with a theme that either represents your specific group’s thoughts or something related to the Oregon Coast (state or national parks, the ocean, beaches, or the various events that happen here on the Coast beyond our quilt show). We would like to have the items in the basket value between $250-$300.
I will have a sign-up sheet at the next meeting for groups or you can email Tamara Craig information with names of participants and theme.
For the table at the show, we will need an inventory of items in the basket.
This may be a great way to support the quilt show and participate in the quilt show if you are not able to come and volunteer time before or during the show. But, by no means, do we not want to have your participation in the show if you can help with volunteering time.

“Get-‘er-Done” Project
Thanks to all the participants that keep getting their projects done! Eight members brought finished projects to the April meeting, completing one more UFO as part of the Project of the Month: Toni Brodie, Darcy de la Rosa, Pat Laub, Jackie Lund, Jan McQueen, Diane Merys, Nancy Nash, and Fran Whited. A few other members shared projects done from previous months during Show and Tell. Diane Merys won the April monthly raffle. May’s project is Project #4. Now, let’s get those quilts registered for the Quilt Show! Registration opens April 15th.
