Do you still have quilt/sewing related items that were missed or that

to the June guild meeting so members can « shop» while waiting for lunch.

You may earn a few $$$ to spend on ….….. ...more fabric?!

Etc., etc. but not your cat!

Better bring a few extra $$$. There’s probably a bargain that you

would like to take advantage of …...or something you just have to have.

Wednesday Afternoon Group

The Wednesday Afternoon Group is a great opportunity for new quilters (and experienced ) to learn a technique or pattern as well as a good time for members to get to know each other in a smaller group setting.

PAGE 3 CALICO PRESS JUNE

There will be no Wednesday Afternoon project in June following the luncheon, but we look

forward to seeing you in September!

As usual, the Wednesday afternoon group put on a lovely display at the quilt show. It goes to show

how much we have accomplished during the past two years…....that, in spite of the fact that many

had already gifted their projects prior to the show and no longer had them to display.

****************************************************

Many thanks to everyone who taught a project during this past year and to all who helped in various ways.

****************************************************

We are looking forward to some great projects for next year . The first being, « Easy-Peasy

Strip Quilt » by Bev Longford, in September ! Materials list will be in the September

newsletter.

The September newsletter will also include the 2013-2014 line-up. Some projects to look

forward to are : fat quarter placemats ; a quilt-as-you-go quilt ; coasters & pin cushions; sea-

sonal paper piecing.

Graduation Gift

This quilt with stitches strong and true Holds all the love I have for you; No antique treasure or work of art, Just the simple gift of a mother’s heart. Gay patches with some dark mixed in The way my love for you has been; Joy and pride—some worry, too. Evenings waiting up for you. As I placed each stitch with patient care I thought of you, and breathed a prayer, That God would keep you safe tonight And show me the way to guide you right. Now you are grown—my job is through As the quilt is bound and finished, too. It holds my love and faith and care To travel with you everywhere. It may not seem important now, But keep it safely anyhow. And when there’s no one else to care You’ll find my love still waiting there To hold you warmly for awhile, And see you through a time of trial. No antique treasure or work of art- Just the simple gift of a mother’s heart.

We are very grateful for all the support that Quilts For Cancer has received from so many guild

members and other volunteers. Without this support, we would not have made the transition

from our previous affiliation so smoothly! We quite literally have an army of volunteers!

Please join us on June 19th at 5pm to celebrate our accomplishments.

Warsaw Lion' Club Cruise Night, July 17 ( rain date July 24th). 4 pm

With the support of the Warsaw Lions Club, Quilts For Cancer will be featured at this

cruise night. This is a great opportunity to see a large collection of the area's vintage cars.

If you have an old car, polish it up & come out to show it off. Admiration from the group is

guaranteed. If you don't have an old car come anyway. The Lion's have the best burgers in town and

a local church group offers tasty home baked pies.

We would certainly appreciate a show of support for Quilts For Cancer at this event!
