The weather is turning summery, and it appears that May will be a promising month. May goes SOOO fast: the Indy 500, graduations, Mother’s Day, school’s out, end-of-year performances, recitals, the list goes on. I have not spent much time at my machine lately. I have been altering and embellishing costumes throughout April for an upcoming ballet performance of Beauty and the Beast for my granddaughter’s dance company. My hands are feeling it!
April was National Volunteer Month. I continue to be amazed by the hours volunteered to assist the guild in its charity efforts and running the guild. Thank you to all of you for the work you are contributing. We are a total volunteer organization and only exist because of your efforts.
Show and Tell is amazing to see everyone’s work. I love that our guild is all skill levels and encourages all. Because we are a very large guild, show and tell is limited to 2 items only per month. Please keep your story very short with pertinent details so we can accommodate everyone and all can share.
Indiana quilt shops are hosting the 1st All Indiana Shop hop. https://allindianashophop.com/ I am looking forward to hopping around the state May through June and discovering stores I did not know about. Invite a friend, take a day’s drive, stop at a fun place for lunch and drive through a state park along the way. Anyone going to all the stores?
Mark your calendar- Our June meeting has a different location and time. We are meeting at Delaware Township at 11:00 on June 9th.
Meeting reminders-
- Park on the side of the church if able (the back door is a shorter walk to get inside)
