Library Update:
The next library quilt change will be the beginning of August. We need to coordinate with Roland (Pat’s husband) and the library to do the change out.
The Guild voted in favor of offering the library quilt display to other local guilds. If the other guilds are interested, we could alternate quilt displays with them. An idea is to have each guild have a quarter and do a combined Christmas display. We display about 20 quilts each time. Deb can contact the other guilds in the area to see if they'd like to have an opportunity to showcase their guild.
Library Window Display for July
Pat has made a display of How a Quilt is Made to decorate library display window.
Deb has volunteered to set up the display on July 1 and remove it on July 31.
Library Xmas
We would like to make some new ornaments for the tree this year.
Please make an ornament or two each month to decorate the tree.
We can start a Pinterest board for quick yet attractive ornament ideas and begin in July.
We will also need an artificial tree to use and Diane may be able to provide a tree.
