Penny Raffle Basket News

Ladies…thank you all for your donations for the penny raffle table. I am excited to report that we will have about 35 baskets to raffle at the quilt show. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any more donations at this time, because we are in the process of finishing up with the baskets/items that we already have on hand. If you want to donate a basket for the raffle table feel free to bring your finished basket to the show, Friday morning April 20th and it will be included.

Sorry for any confusion,

Denise O.

Hello everyone quick reminder that we are now less than a month away from the quilt show.  We are still looking for quilt entries.  Please make sure you get your entry forms to Donna McTague preferrably by the 4/1/12 deadline.  If you are working on a quilt for the show and are not sure it will be ready, please still fill out the form.  The quilt card can be pulled on the day of the show.   If you have a challenge, mystery, clothing and bags, make-it and Take It from Halloween or Christmas, please consider putting it in the show.

Any Penny Raffle items not already delivered to Denise Orecchio please bring it to the April meeting.   There will be a comfort quilt/charity corner where we will be displaying what charities items we have been making and to whom they are being given to.  If you have an item you want to be in that  charity corner, please let us know.

Reminder, check in for quilts is between 9:30 am to 1:00 pm if you are working please arrange for someone to drop it off and remember to get your receipt for this.   At the April meeting, we will be going around with the sheet for volunteers to sign up.  Any member signing up will get a badge picked up at admissions and will get into  the show for free.  All others will have to pay admission.  We are only looking for a block of 2 hours.  Thanks and see you at the next meeting.

We are looking for hand-crafted items from members to sell.  These items do not have to be quilted!  They can be crocheted, knitted, embroidered, painted or made of wood. Every item needs to be priced by you and have a pinned price tag attached, which includes the price, a brief description and your assigned number.  The price tags will be kept and you will receive your payment at the May meeting based on the price tags we have minus 10% which goes to the guild.

All hand-crafted items with your itemized form for the boutique need to be brought to the Americal Civic Center, 467 Main Street, Wakefield, Mass., on Friday, April 20, between 9:00 am and 1:30 pm.  If you cannot bring your items on Friday, please contact either Linda Jeffrey or Brenda Lane to make other arrangements.

Updates for March

Hello North Parish Quilters,

There has been a change to the contact person for Quilt Show Entry Forms. Donna McTague will be collecting the forms at our guild meeting. You may also email them to her at donna@ll.mit.edu or post them to: 6 1/2 Brown Place, Woburn, MA 01801. Please submit your forms to Donna by April 1st. For all members who have passed in their forms they have been given to Donna already.

If you are entering a quilt into our Quilt Show and it is larger than 24 inches you will need to attach a sleeve to the back side. Gail Russell has provided me with printed directions to pass along to you. (click on the underlined words to review and print)                               How to attach a hanging sleeve.

Lastly,  our next board meeting will be held at Mary Rose’s Quilts & Treasures in Reading on Sunday March 18th at 3pm. All members are welcomed to join.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Nicole
