Chatham Quilters – March 2008

 

 

Congratulations to Andrea Lasek for winning the February blotto.  Andrea has kits ($1) for the March blotto.  If you’ve purchased a kit, please return the completed block to Andrea on or before March 25th, the day of the drawing.

 

Mark your calendar – we are having a party on Tuesday, April 8th.  Bring a finger food item (you may also want to bring a copy of your recipe).  At this party we will be honoring Cecile, the lovely lady who sets up the tables in our room every Tuesday, and scans our ID when we enter Chatham’s Rec Center.  We will be presenting a quilt to Cecile, who is retiring at the end of the month.  Many thanks to Margo McClary for donating the quilt top, and Carol Yohn for quilting it. 

 

Secret Sisters:  Bring your items on March 18th “hidden” in a Wal-Mart bag (so your secret sister can’t identify you as you come into the building).  If you aren’t receiving anything from your secret sister, let Maureen know.

 

Tickets are currently being sold for Pat Knoechel’s Trunk Show (Eleanor Burns’ sister), which will be held this year at the Savannah Center on Monday, April 14th. 

 

UFO Challenge Participants:  Reminder – April 8th is the deadline for completion of item #5 on your list.

 

FYI:  A new needlework shop has opened in Fruitland Park.  SEW CHERISHED will carry quilting and needlework supplies, and also do custom framing.  Located on Hwy. 441, just north of Western World, their address is 2468 Hwy. 441.  If you want to take a peek at some of the items they’ll be carrying, click on
