OH NO...NOT ALREADY?
Beverly Lynn and I would appreciate the assistance of
all our members in publicizing our quilt show this coming
June. Here are just a couple of ways we need your help
now:
1. If you are going to any quilt show (know Wichita
Falls and Fort Worth will soon occur), would you please be
our messenger and take flyers for them to display at their
quilt show.
2. Please look at all the sewing/home &
garden/quilting/etc magazines that you get and if they
have a quilt show listing or travel guide, would you
please give us the name of the magazine, their e-mail (if
available) and mailing address. We have to send our quilt
show information to them very early – sometimes as early
as October.
Please don’t assume that someone else has already
given information to us...if everyone does that, we won’t
get any information.
You can call or e-mail either of us:
Judy Luther 325-698-2301 or hotrodquilts@yahoo.com
Beverly Lynn 325-690-1632 or cbnlynn@aol.com
Thank you so much for your help – we want this to be
the best show ever and your kindness in helping will make
all the difference! - Judy |

New
Website
The
Abilene Quilter’s Guild now has a web site. It can be seen at www.abilenequiltguild.org.
Gina Reddin is our designer. You can EMAIL
her for suggestions or questions. We plan to include such
things as our newsletter, quilt show information, and
other information for our members and other interested
Quilters. |
Quick
Trick Books
We
plan to have the books Quick Tricks & More
Quick Quilt Tricks at the August meeting for the
people who ordered them at the last meeting. The cost of
the books will only be $10 each. We had thought it would
be as much as $15, but were able to get them wholesale. We
will have a few extra copies of each book available for
sale. We can reorder more if necessary. |
|
Quilter’s Classifieds
Two of our members have websites where they sell
goodies.
Kathryn Rister: http://www.quiltkitsandquarters.com
Gina Reddin: http://www.splintersandthreads.net
If any of you have quilting related items to buy, sell,
or trade, let us know and they will be included. This
could also be a good place to list needed fabrics,
patterns etc. |
