Steel Days Quilt Show

Peggy and committee will have sign ups for quilt show minders (baby sitters) to keep the quilts safe and undamaged.  Take a shift or two and we can share the work.  It's always fun to be there as a representative of New Friends and answer what  questions the public might have and see the excitement when someone recognizes a quilt with a ribbon.  

July 9 4:30 pm

Helpers needed to take down the show and it's amazing how fast it goes when we have a lot of helpers.

June 28 Check In Quilts

Volunteers Needed to help check in quilts for the quilt show.

No experience necessary, you can sign up with Peggy and committee ahead of time or just show up and there will be something you can do to help.

June 7

The first meeting in June is our annual

Picnic in the Park

10 am in the pavilion between the library and the senior building.  Because it is sprinkler season you might want to bring a towel to help dry off the picnic tables...just a suggestion.

Don't forget your pot luck dish and show and tell.  Can't wait to see everyone

Thought some of you might be interested in this free pattern 

It's a great traditional basket quilt
