Friday, August 19th
6-8pm in front of Claudia's booth

Bring a project to work on and anything you might want to put out for show-n-tell.

I'll post about the September meeting after the fair...

2016 UFO Challenge - 
Don't forget to bring your UFO for show-n-tell to the August meeting.
Deets are on the UFO tab up above. 

Farm Market - 
It appears we are not going to be asked to the farm market under the usual auspices of GLOW Traditions (which paid a stipend) since they are going with a Mexican theme this year. On the other hand, Jackie is supposed to be getting me some dates that we could demo at the regular ACWC booth (no stipend). I'll let you know the dates ASAP.

ACWC September Show - 
It appears that Jackie forgot we were committed to the upstairs gallery in September (she has been planning the African mask exhibit for 3 years) so our "normal" space is not available. She offered a month at the YMCA in Warsaw if we are interested. She actually offered a longer time but I thought it was a long commitment.  Please let me know ASAP what you are interested in...nothing, 1 month or longer than 1 month. Thanks!

Hexie Club - 2/5/16

Hello ladies - 

It was brought to our attention after the party that the next meeting is during the first quilt retreat - that means that we will once again be meeting at Camp Asbury!!! Our meeting will be held in Wilmott Lodge (same as last year) or as I lovingly refer to it as the building up the hill :) Please speak up if you need directions to Asbury or Wilmott.

Table Topper - We made a lot of progress on our topper at the last meeting and Lisa and Erica were generous enough to take the project home and put the rest of it together. I think 1 more person has taken home a "set" to finish - if so, could you please let me know it's you. The top will be done as soon as we locate the last set.

Also, does anyone has any of the black that they would like to donate back to Grace? We used a large portion of her fabric to get the topper done. Thanks!

Now we need to decide on quilting - anyone want to volunteer their talents or shall we all pitch in and hire someone?

Birthday swap -

         Carol - Scrappy batiks

     February Houses:
