:: It's not too late to pay your dues! Dues are holding steady at $40 for this year and can be paid by cash, check, or credit card. You can pay at the meeting or online through our Paypal link.
:: STLMQG members came through in a big way at the April meeting! Thanks to the generous donations of over 230 yards of fabric, the Charity Committee has determined that we have plenty of yardage to cut and assemble kits for Project Linus. No additional donations are needed. We had originally planned to request fabric donations for May, but your copious donations at the April meeting have made further donations unnecessary. Please accept our sincere thanks and appreciation to all who donated. We look forward to creating the kits for whomever wishes to make a quilt for Project Linus.
Remember we have lots of items due in May, so keep these in mind as you prepare:
- No Excuses Challenge projects
- 1st collection of Project Linus quilts
- Half-square triangle blocks for the Rainbow BOM (Be sure to bring your finished April Rainbow BOM blocks for a chance to win a book about the May skill.)
- Accepted quilts for guild quilt show
