Binding Strips

Danielle Keenan took home one of the quilts Angela donated to the October auction that needed to be bound, but can't find the binding strips that go with it. Someone called her and said they had the strips that were already cut for the binding for that quilt, but she missed the next meeting and can’t remember their name.

If you have the strips in a blue/brown batik please bring them to the June meeting, or call her and she will come pick them up. If you don't have your guild address list, send an email to cospringsqg@gmail.com and I'll forward the information to her.

Newsletters

You can find the link to newsletters on the LINKS page on the right side of the blog.

Guild Library

The guild members have decided to start a library. The books will be stored at a members house, and will be brought in to be loaned, or can be picked up. Books will be loaned for 2 months.

If you have quilt related books that you would like to donate, please bring them to the next meeting, or email cospringqg@gmail.com to be picked up. The first books are listed on the library link on the right hand side of the blog.

If you want to make a short term loan (1 year) you can do that as well. That way you can share your books, but still keep them.
