Chatham Quilters -- July 2008
 
 
The revisions to the by-laws were reviewed, and additional changes are being made.  The by-law committee is working on these changes and as soon as they become available, you will receive a copy by e-mail.
 
The Quilt Show will be here before you know it!  Each chapter is asked to donate items for the Silent Auction.  Chatham is asked to donate 9 items -- this figure is based on 1 item per 10 members, and since we have 90 members, that means that we should donate a minimum of 9 items.  You may have something you made previously that you do not want and are willing to part with it.  Kay will take a count soon.   If you live in the North during the summer, please e-mail Kay at ekhas@thevillages.net and let her know that you will have an item to contribute.
 
Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson will be coming to Ocala for a Quilt Seminar on March 26-28, 2009.   Special rate for a group of 2-9 registrations, and a better rate for a group of 10+ registrations.  There is also an evening lecture only on Friday for $15.  More information is available at www.rickytims.com/seminars.html .  You can also go to www.thequiltshow.com to get more information about Ricky and Alex's new venture of programs on the internet, and view one 63-minute program for free. 
 
Also a reminder that Chatham's retreat dates are March 17-19, 2009, the week before the Ricky Tims/Alex Anderson seminar.
 
Once again the area quilts shops are sponsoring a SHOP HOP on August 8-9-10.  Participating shops are Tomorrow's Treasures (Ocala), Quilter's Dream (Leesburg), Material Girl (Apopka), Quilt Shop of Deland (Deland), and Clermont Sewing & Quilting (Clermont). 
 
The monthly evening meeting will be on Tuesday, August 5th at Laurel Manor.  The guest speaker will be from Sew Cherished, the new quilt/needlework shop in Fruitland Park. 
 
Happy Quilting to all,
Joanne
