Well, the 2008 quilt show is behind us! THANKS to all members for helping,and a BIG THANKS to Michele Pusateri, our Quilt Show Chair. The ShowCommittee did a great job and we really APPRECIATE all the etxra hours yougave to make this the “Big Show” that is was! Now we can all (briefly) relax,before thinking about the 2009 Show...

Please come to the April meeting for a relaxing evening. We hope to give out theViewer’s Choice Ribbons to the winners and maybe show a few of the winning entries. We arealso planning a SPECIAL THANKS to our Affiliates. A number of them will have tables aroundthe room with goodies you really must purchase. Some of them may also be bringing ideas forhow to use the 2 1/2” strips you won at our Strip Poker Night!

At the April meeting you can also sign up for our May workshop with Joy Lily. It willbe held on Thursday the 15th and she will teach us “Marbling on Fabric”. I will be hosting Joyat my home after the general meeting and then taking her the next day to her workshop at thePatchwork Penguin.

Let’s try to get a good turn-out for the first event after the show... I look forward tosharing some salads and desserts with you while we enjoy our R & R!

TÄ|vx fÅ|à{

P.S. Those of you who know me understand that I work best under a deadline... and this showwas no different! I entered 3 quilts on time, as well as 4 wearables, but my Challenge Vestneeded the binding turned and sewn by hand. So, during my 3 pm meeting at the Marriott, Ifinished my vest by 5 pm on Wednesday! At this time of year I am always promising myselfthat next year I will have plenty of time to finish everything before the picture deadline. Maybethis time I can keep my promise since I will no longer be President after June. Wish me luck!

May 2008 Joy Lily

A Notefrom theEditor

This issue will be arriving laterthan usual, as our quilt show fellon the last weekend of March. Inorder to get a few items in from theshow, I had to push the printingand mailing deadlines back a fewdays after the 1st... My apologies.Reminder: Next month we will beparing down the mailing list tosend only to those who signed up.(There will be another sign upsheet at the next General Meeting.)

However, while at the show,I heard a rumor that there might bea member willing to take on theNewsletter Chair position, and Iwill be very excited to hear theofficial announcement from theNominating Committee at ourApril meeting. It also appearsthat the remaining positions willbe filled, just in time for the turn-over of the Board, so the guild canget back to business immediatelyin June. (We always do!)

I have actually enjoyed servingon the Board and while it’s achallenge putting the Newslettertogether, it is also a fun, creativeprocess, and I’m looking forwardto seeing a new person’s “stamp”put on it!

Many thanks to ALL who havesent in contributions during thelast 22 months - with 2 more issuesto go I will soon become a “rovingreporter” so I can send articles andpictures to the new Editor. I offerher my best wishes and any helpneeded for an easy transition.
