Birmingham Quilt Expo is Oct 10, 11 12.  We have 6 free tickets.  We can carpool and share the cost of gas and the extra tickets for those interested in going.

Library update 

Eli – We will be displaying 4-6 quilts at a time starting in the fall and rotating them out every couple of months.  The guild will be able to pay for the supplies necessary to hang the quilts.  The library was very pleased with the window box display that was done. There was also talk of having quilts for sale.


Charity Quilt

The new pattern will be Anita’s Arrowhead in the 12” size.  Blocks will be due back in September.  Use one solid and one complementing patterned fabric for your blocks.  We had enough of the previous charity quilt blocks to make 2 quilt tops.  

We will have Sewing Saturday for assembling/basting the charity quilts in the spring.

Fern’s BOM 
Fern gave instructions for her block of the month.  It will be wrapping up soon.

The next BOM will begin after the New year.
