The video will last 9 minutes and 18 seconds. Pokey Bolton from Quilting Arts is the interviewer. At the beginning it says this is Chapter 2. She begins with five samples of fabric.

Do not forget to bring any projects you have finished or are working on for Show 'N Tell.  Also bring your project from the March program on using snippets of fabric.

See you tomorrow evening, 6:00, Bernina Quilt 'n Sew Studio,

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Thanks to Karen, Delores, and June for attending  CDM Saturday for the Plushie program. The children designed the toys on paper. Our group, along with more volunteers, helped them cut, sew and stuff.You will see in the pics how adorable they turned out. June was telling me how proud the children were of their completed projects. Thanks to Delores and Karen Dewhirst for taking the pics.

At our June GT meeting we will be making  multi media wood blocks with Jackie. You should be collecting your found/personal  items that will be permanently applied. You can use a wood block or a cardboard box, any size or shape you want, it does not have to be square.

Kim Callaway found 3 1/2" wood blocks at Target. There are 6 in the bag and they are on sale for $11.00. She's happy to divide the cost and share. The first five who contact her will be the lucky ones, her email is jester@epbfi.com.

This month our meeting will be during the last week on the 28th. Catherine will be in charge of the program.
