Yvonne opened the meeting with the question, what feedback did you hear about the quilt show? A lot of people reported they felt it was a great experience. Attendees remarked that there are a lot of talented people in New London (Agreed! Just check our our pictures on flickr.). They especially liked the way the quilts were displayed. Also mentioned was that there were a variety of projects. From full size quilts, to table runners, to totes and pillows. It was deemed a success and ideas on how to improve the show were discussed.

Now for other business. Since there are a few of us who have trouble navigating the steps either up to our meeting room, or down to the basement of the church for our workshops lugging our machines with us, we are changing meeting location and times. Here's the new schedule:

  • Meeting place, New London Alliance Church,  4635 St. Rt. 162, west of New London, in the youth room.
  • Starting with our May 8th meeting, meeting days will be the 2nd Thursday @ 7:00 p.m. for a businees meeting and the last Saturday of the month @ 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. for a workshop meeting. The Saturday meeting will be open to come and go as you please. We realize not everyone will be able to attend every Saturday meeting. At this meeting we will be working on our service projects and if we don't have a project going at that time, you may bring anything of your own to work on. Demonstrations will be welcome at the Saturday meeting also. You never know when you will run across a new technique that you would like to share with the group. The Saturday meeting is also subject to change according to the church's schedule and if any holidays fall in there. You will be notified in plenty of time to arrange your schedule.

Now that that's said, we still have one meeting and one workshop scheduled for the Methodist church. April 24th will be our last regular meeting there and on April 26th from 9:00 a.m. to no later than 3:00 p.m., we have a workshop scheduled to work on the last of our Eastman quilts. Bring your machines and any necessary tools needed. Let's get these quilts done!!!!!


Since we were all busy with getting things done for the quilt show, we had no show and tell at the meeting. Looking forward to an abundance of projects for the next meeting!

Enjoy these few days of warmer weather, they say we're supposed to get more of that nasty four letter word early this week. If we don't say the word out loud, maybe it will pass us by.

See you at the next meeting!
