5 July 2017 Sew It Goes 5 October Upcoming Programs Our presenter is Margaret Caughman and her lecture is, Granny, Grandma and Me, the Journey of 3 Generations of Quilters. I have heard she is a great story teller and has quilters to back up her stories! What could be better??? Workshop Oct. 25 (Wednesday) The workshop for October is by Jennifer Kay she is another NC quilter with an incredible eye for design and color. She is also a longarmer and has numerous awards in her name. Additionally, she is a representative for Marti Mitchell and don t we all love her rulers. Hopefully, I will have a sample or at least a picture of what we will be doing. November Besides presenting our table runners as we do every November, we are going to have our auction in November. This gives us some time after the Quilt Show to clean out as well as any left-over remnants from the show that we might barter off. This can be a huge money maker for the Guild so that is our goal this year! Deb Waldron Please Help Spread the Word About Our Quilt Show! There will be Quilt Show Posters available at the Check-In table at the LNQ Guild Meeting. Please be thinking about somewhere you could place one or two posters to promote show. It would be great to have a presence with the merchants on the main streets of Mooresville and Davidson. PLEASE PARTICIPATE!
