Anne Ricciardelli opened the June meeting by using her gavel, something she’s not been able to do very often this year. We had 60 members in attendance at our new location, Delaware Township Community Center. What a lovely and spacious facility!
We were able to gather some food and staple items for the Township’s pantry and the collection basket was brimming with $1.00 donations. Thank You Mudsock Quilters for being so generous. The Delaware Township Government Office
This month we visit the Lucky Star Quilts shop in Carmel. The owner is the delightful Stephanie Brokaw. She has been in the longarm business for 14 years and 2 years ago expanded her shop to include retail sales. How lucky she is to turn her passion into a thriving business! Or maybe it was her determination and drive?
At Lucky Star Quilts you will find wonderful fabrics to use in your projects, from Kaffe Fassett, Tula Pink, Figo, Northcott Solids, Anabel Wrigley,
Hello Dear Quilters,
Here’s a riddle for you: What did the friendly quilt say to the bed? Give up? Well, I’m not going to the reveal the answer, because trust me, you would groan aloud if I did.
Ok, here’s another riddle: What does NOT include loud construction noise, hauling chairs, or virtual anything? I will five you the answer to that one even though you probably already know it. It’s our June Guild meeting!
Yes, the Delaware Township

This month we continue to build on the finishing aspects of our quilting. I seem to be going in the reverse order, labels last month, bindings this month? Oh well, par for the course in my life.
So this month, let’s talk bindings! There is so much more to bindings than just a 2.5″ double
