by the time you read this, our biennial Quilt Show will be over. It seems as
though we work so long in preparing and in two days it’s over. We hav=
e at
least 207 quilts of all sizes, a gorgeous raffle quilt, local
and out of state vendors, a new concessionaire, and a new building. I want =
to
thank everyone on the committee and in our guild for all their volunteer
efforts. It takes everyone to put on a show. No matter how large or small y=
our
job was—thanks.
&nb=
sp; At
the May meeting we will show the award winning quilts. This will be a lot of
fun. I always vote but can’t remember every quilt that wins. We have a
lot of categories. The winner of the raffle quilt will be announced.
&nb=
sp; We
will also try to give an accounting as to how well we did with attendance. =
If
you have any questions about the show, please ask. Once again, thanks for a=
