July Meeting Reminder
Our next meeting is just around the corner! It's time for Sew, Show & Tell! As previously announced, this meeting will focus on UFOs and favorite tools and/or gadgets. Are you stuck on a UFO? Looking for guidance from other quilters? Need some motivation to finish it up? Bring it to our July meeting and share it with the group. Each member is encouraged (but not required) to bring a UFO to share as well as any tools you just can't do without.
We will get started around 10 a.m. with a brief business meeting, followed by show & tell. We will then share in a little potluck lunch, followed by free sewing time. We have the building all day, so stay and sew as late as you wish!
Please let us know you are coming by filling out the form below. We will contact everyone via email 3 days prior about what to bring for the potluck.
*The clubhouse is located at the intersection of Hillsboro Road and Boxwood Drive, directly across the street from Grassland Middle School. If you need further directions, please contact us via e-mail

June 2011 - Road Trippin' to Paducah!
It's time to start looking ahead to our June event, which consists of a fun day filled with fabric, food and fellowship in Paducah, Quilt City, KY! We will carpool there and back. If you have a clean, reliable vehicle and are willing to drive, we need volunteers. Drivers will be reimbursed $150 which works out to about fifty cents per mile. This should cover fuel costs and wear & tear on your vehicle. Everyone (including drivers) should bring cash ($30-$40) to put in the transportation pot. We will divvy the funds out to the drivers before we leave.
Here is our tentative schedule for the day:
7:15 a.m. - Meet 100 Oaks (near Michael's)
7:30-10:00 - Driving to Paducah
10:00-11:30 - National Quilt Museum (admission is $10 each unless we get a group of ten or more, then admission is only $5)
11:40-12:20 - The Quilter's Alley
12:30-1:15 - Lunch @ Kirchoff's Deli & Bakery
1:30-2:30 - Quilt in a Day Shoppe
3:00-5:00 - Hancocks of Paducah
5:45-7:00 - Dinner @ Patti's 1880s Settlement
