THISTLE QUILT GUILD, Pictou County, Nova Scotia
Our May meeting is approaching
Our May meeting will be next Wednesday 21 May. There will be lots going on!
Finally, we will have the big reveal of our BROWN BAG CHALLENGE. Members are encouraged to bring the items that they have made from the fabric that was in the brown bags. We will present these items to the owners of the brown bags. This should be a lot of fun.
Members are also encouraged to bring in the items they have made for the two Quilt Show challenges - pin cushions and Christmas ornaments.
A reminder of the workshops that were held over the past year:
Travel placemats (Janice d'Eon)
Lap It Up Quilt (Anne Mattie)

BROWN BAG AUCTION - we will hold a brown bag auction at the May meeting. These auctions are always so much fun. Bring an item (related to quilting) worth up to $10 hidden in a brown bag so it can be auctioned off in a blind auction. You don't know what you are bidding on until you earn the right to open the bag!
Anne promises to offer a workshop in the Fall on Pictorial Quilts. So be on the lookout for big beautiful prints over the summer.
Hope to see everyone at the May meeting.
