The PSQG raffle quilt earned an Honorable Mention (which is a big deal) at the Paducah Quilt show. Yahoo!
And, our June Guild speaker, Mildred Sorrels, won a 3rd place in the “bed quilt home sewing machine” category. Come to our June meeting and sign up for her workshops and see for yourself just how wonderful Mildred is.
We have decided to align the membership renewal schedule with the guild fiscal schedule (June 1 to May 31), so membership renewals are due now, rather than in August. However, don’t fret! The dues for existing members will be pro-rated, since we’re already paid up through August.
2012-2013 dues for renewing members will be $27. New members will be $35. Membership Renewal Forms and payment may be turned in at meetings or they may be mailed to Barbara Stewart. Please complete the forms fully even if your information remains the same. Should you choose to pay with cash we would appreciate having the correct change. Dues should be received by 7/1/12. Members choosing to participate in the quilt show must be in good standing. The dues adjustment is for this one year only as we are reconciling the dues year with the quilt guild year.
DeKalb County Quilt Guild will hold its biannual Quilt Show on Saturday, September 29, 2012 and Sunday, September 30, 2012 at the Sycamore Middle School (150 Maplewood Drive, Sycamore IL 60178). Learn more.
Hooray for us! And congratulations to everyone who contributed to our wonderful Raffle Quilt! It has been accepted into the AQS (American Quilter’s Society) Paducah Quilt Show as a semi-finalist! Way to go!!!
