From the President:
Dear
Crossroad Quilters
FAIR BOOTH -- Time is getting short
to work on your project for the booth. We'd like to have as many items
as possible in our booth. Even if you only have time to make a pot holder
or placemat, we'd love to have your contribution.
We will set up the booth Sat. Aug 11th at 9 a.m. Please have your quilts
there by 9. If you are unable to get them there, you can either take them
to Betty H. or myself.
We would also like to have our Guild well represented in the Open Class
entries. Joan challenged everyone to try to enter at least one project.
Let's show the public that quilting is going strong in Rooks County!
For those of you with internet access, I have really enjoyed spending time
looking at quilts at HGTV.com: Rate My Quilt. Last Month when I posted
about this I didn't have the link, and I realized that it was kind of hard
to find. Here is the link: http://ratemyquilt.hgtv.com/SNC/Main.aspx?&pguid=06acca86-b7bc-43fe-b9ef-4839815f6f1c
For those with satellite TV. Some of the ladies informed us that Eleanor
Burns is on at 1 or 5:30 on RFDTV. Check your schedules for times. Channel
231 on Dish network.
Check your calendars for the Birthday FQ swap.
We are still missing an Eleanor Burns book from our quilting library. Please
check your book shelves. If you see any former members, ask them if by
chance they have the book.
Sew Days ***** Date Change for Stockton**** Sat. Aug 4th in Stockton, and
Wed. Aug. 8th in Plainville.
Aug. 20th is our next meeting.
Ladies in charge of refreshments for the August meeting are: Jana S. Susan
G. & Annette L.
Happy Quilting!
Karen

Fair Block of the Month
The
block of the month for August was the Lattice
Square. This is the pattern that was selected at the August meeting to be
used for next year’s fair. Have fun
creating different designs. How many different looks can we create? The Link to the Quilters Cache web page is http://www.quilterscache.com You will
need to select free patterns and then 12” size. If you would like a paper copy
of this pattern please let me know.

Program
We
are going to do something a little different. Everyone has been working
hard all summer so I thought maybe a little something different would
be fun (besides I couldn’t come up with anything else). So we are going
to learn to make ribbon roses. I just got back from my cruse a few weeks
ago and this is one of the things we did during one of the at sea days.
We had a lot of fun and thought I would share it. I know some may already
know how to do this but it will be fun anyway.
