make sure those folks that get stuff mailed have the map to Becky Koehler’s

going out early – we will have the report for review at the June meeting.

Caring Quilts –
Missing one of the quilts that was taken for binding…please

Betty so we can track everything!
Quilts given away to Donelle’s co-worker’s 3 kids – lost
home in fire – family quilts lost – so sad!
Betty gave a quilt to the 6th grader in New
Richmond going through cancer treatment right now, Katie Wilcoxson & Wyatt
(took some jumbled notes here..sory!) Jean Krumm visited 3rd graders
and ended up giving a quilt to a young man for his grandpa.
Quilt Show Update
Handed out raffle tickets – please do your very best to sell
the tickets, we go to a lot of expense to print them and may need to cut back
on printing if they are not getting sold. We will not be mailing the
tickets out this year, you must attend the June or July meeting or make
arrangements with another member to pick them up for you.
Donelle gave an update on WITC – renovations to the student
café area and to the presentation room will make things more comfortable.
We will have 2 published speakers for the event – here is their info:
Saturday - Sandy Irish - http://www.irishchain.com/ - She will
also be vending at the show.
Sunday – Amanda Jean Nyberg - http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/
Saturday - We will also have a certified quilt appraiser,
Jean Carlton. She is the one that will be visiting our guild at the August
meeting – She does not have a website. Appraisals will be $50 and should
take ½ hour. Attendees of the show will be able to watch and listen as
she appraises the quilts. Here is a link to her blog - http://quiltsetcetera.blogspot.com/
We will not be offering food this year, we are going to
approach local businesses for special coupons to give just to attendees.
