PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear
Members, We are all looking forward to September's meeting!
We have a great speaker, Mark Lipinski, who I'm sure will
be wonderful. But do you want to know why a certain committee
is really looking forward to September??? They're dying to
get all your quilt applications for the show. REMEMBER - IT
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY FINISHED TO FILL OUT THE FORM!
We are hoping, however, that filling out that form will give
you that extra little push you need to get it done. And personally,
I want to color in more lines on my chart, so let's get going!
Got to run now. Lot's of sewing to do!
Sew
long and happy,
Cathy
Be
It So Noted:
The
Guild's books for the calendar year May 2004 to May 2005 have
been reviewed and reconciled to bank records by guild members
Meryl Rewkowski, Mary Pagano, and Jane Romano in accordance
with the guild's by-laws.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
NEWS
Have you been
quilting during the heat wave? We hope so because it¹s never
too hot (or too cold) to quilt. Isn¹t that right? How about
making your community service quilt before the holidays are
upon us? If you think they¹re a long way off, it¹s not so.
In less than three months we¹ll be in the throes of preparing
for Thanksgiving and then the Hanukkah and Christmas frenzy
sets in. So, this may be the best time to devote to our cause.
We¹ve gotten off to a rather slow start but we know we can
count on you.
Here are
the names of our August stars: Carmen Caldeiro, Brenda Gold,
Judy Klein and Loretta Ruff, who turned in two quilts, one
afghan and 12 wheelchair bags. Many thanks, thanks ladies.
Raffle Quilt
The guild
would like to take this opportunity to thank Jean Nalaskowski
of Creative Quilting for machine quilting our
raffle quilt. Jean runs a professional machine quilting business
and comes highly recommended. her e-mail address is Jean698@AOL.com.
She is located at 16 Howe Road, Coram NY 11727.
New Quilt
Shop
A new quilt
shop by the name of The Quilt Bug will be celebrating its
Grand Opening on September 10th. It is located at 30C Broadway
in Massapequa which is at the corner of New York Avenue: one
block north of the Massapequa train station. The phone number
is 516- 541-8600.
Member Advertisements

who would like to place an ad in the Cuts From the Bolt relating
to quilting or craft items may do so by contacting Meryl Rewkowski

The cost is $5.00 per insertion with a maximum of 40 words;

VENDORS WANTED

Historical Society of Port Washington is looking for vendors

Raffle Quilt
Update
Come see!
Come see! Our raffle quilt is ready for viewing at our Sept
1 general meeting. It was beautifully machine quilted by Jeanne
Nalaskowski of Creative Quilting. You'll want to get close
to see how the applique sections inspired her design.
Thanks again
to all who worked with me on the quilt: Marie Abrucci, Betty
Belford, Marge Geary, Barbara Hull, Ellie Pucciariello, and
Alice Tritschler. And special thanks to Helen Darvie who squared
up our queen sized quilt and showed me how it's done.
