During the May 22 meeting of GreatFul Threads, Liza Blair, from Arts Build (formerly Allied Arts) explained a grant that is available to groups such as ours. A maximum of $3,000/group is available for buildings arts within the group and the community. The application is due this Fall. In the meantime, members will research ways we could best utilize the funds.
Bill Klingensmith, our meeting place host, said several alteration shops in the area are looking for help; if anyone is interested contact Bill for more info. He is in need of quilts to hang in the background of his booth during the upcoming AQS show. What a wonderful way for our quilts to be hanging at the show as well as making sure Bill has an outstanding and attractive booth. Be thinking about which of your quilts (with or without sleeves) you would like to loan him. Bill is looking for several people to work his booth during the show and someone to give classes in the store. The store will soon receive Riley Blake wide backs and wide back batiks.
The following pics are a combination of the evening's program techniques and show 'n tell. If you were not at the meeting and need a technique for June, send me an email and I will be glad to do that for you. Also, if you have an idea for how we could best utilize the grant money, let me know.
We will meet earlier in the day for the June meeting in order to assemble the CDM quilt blocks. The work session will be on the regularly scheduled day, June 26, 3:00 p.m. with the meeting to follow at 6:00.
Take time to create,
Denise
