Our Next Meeting

Monday, April 21, 2014 7:00PM  Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center
Wellsboro, PA
Program: Four-Block Quilts
Presented by MLQG Member Betty Neff
  Betty will present an educational lecture and trunk show of four-block quilts, a popular quilt design during 1850-1900. Some of the quilts are vintage, some new, some patterned. Guild members who own four-block quilts are encouraged to bring them for show and tell during this program.

Open Sewing And Charity Quilting Are BACK!

Based on the amount of charity work that our guild does, the Masons have agreed to allow us to use their lodge on Wednesdays for Open Sewing and Charity Quilting, free of charge!  A very generous offer indeed!  If you know a Mason who is a member of the Ossea Masonic Lodge, please thank him and as you are able support their charitable efforts in return.

Open Sewing will resume Wednesday, April 16 at the Masonic Lodge on Kelsey Street from 10:00 until 2:00.  All guild members of all ability levels and interests are welcome to attend and may work on any stitching projects (hand or machine, even knitting, crocheting, or embroidery).  Bring your own sewing supplies (there is an iron and ironing board at the lodge for our use), machine, and a bag lunch.

Charity Quilting will be held on Wednesday, April 23 (and the fourth Wednesday of every month) at the Masonic Lodge from 10:00 until 2:00.  As always, all guild members are welcome to attend.  This month we will be working on a red, white and blue Anita's Arrowhead quilt for Quilts of Valor.  If you missed out on the workshop in January, this is your chance to learn how to make this fascinating block!  Bring your own sewing supplies, machine, and a bag lunch. Fabric will be provided.

Help Wanted – Raffle Quilt Ticket Sales Coordinator

The Exhibit Committee is in need of someone to coordinate ticket sales for the 2014 raffle quilt. The job involves coordinating guild volunteers to take the raffle quilt to various venues (festivals, fairs, quilt shows, other quilt guilds…) for the purpose of ticket sales.  It also involves making sure the materials needed for ticket sales are available for volunteers.  Being the raffle ticket coordinator is a good opportunity for someone who likes to be on top of what is going on in our immediate area, to make contact with other organizers, and also meet more members of the Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild.

If you are interested or have questions about this job, please contact Betty W-R or Susan Mc (check your roster for contact info or comment on this blog post).
