The Hamilton Federated Church has been booked for the day of Saturday, September 24th for our quilt show. The motion to hold the show was officially approved. 

Some suggestions were made for ways to save money on ribbons for the show. Some had ideas of checking Michael's or Hobby Lobby for inexpensive alternatives to our ribbons we have had in past years. Others thought that paper certificates could replace the 2nd and 3rd place ribbons to cut costs. No official motion was made to go through with these ideas. 


New Business: May's meeting will be graced with a program by Romme, demonstrating how to make a petal pillow. Patterns were passed out Thursday to those who who were interested in participating. 


Show and Tell: Barbara and Carolyn had projects to show. 

Carolyn is starting a quilting bee for the "New Hex" hexagon pattern that is so popular right now. The first meeting of this group will be held on the evening of Tuesday, May 10th at the MSQC Retreat Center. Please email Carolyn for additional information if you are interested.
