Trunk Show by Ken Casey

On Tuesday, June 15, Nimble Thimbles is pleased to have Prickly Piecer Ken Casey present a trunk show for us. Ken has been quilting for years and has amassed a tremendous collection of quilts. His creations are interesting, colorful and fun. He has won awards for his quilting efforts, and has been featured in several regional shows. Please join us and welcome Ken to our Nimble Thimbles group.

Count down for P.U.P. Projects : aka Poor Unfinished Projects

Where has the past year gone? Time is quickly approaching for the reveal of our P.U.P. projects at the July 6 meeting. You still have 6+ weeks to complete your project and hopefully you haven't waited to the last minute. If you have, then get busy because for those that have finished will be entered into a prize drawing. Please bring your P.U.P. to the meeting in whatever stage it is in on the July 6 meeting for all to enjoy. Get stitchin!!!!

If you want to participate in the P.U.P. project for next year, then start digging in your sewing room and on July 6 bring in 3 options of unfinished projects and the fun begins when the members vote on which project you will be working on for the next year.

It's Time to Renew Your Membership!!!

A friendly reminder that the time has come for everyone to renew their AQG and Nimble Thimble membership. The cost is $25 for AQG and $20 for Nimble Thimbles and this will give you a full year's membership. Last membership drive we had the choice of renewing for 6 months or 18 months, because the fiscal year of AQG was changed to July-July, but now all memberships are due to expire. Georgette will be at next Tuesday's meeting on 5/18 to collect. If not done at that time remember there is a late fee if postmarked after June 1,2010.
Membership forms will be at the welcome desk.

We are looking forward to another wonderful year at N.T. and it's the members that make it so much fun!

University Night Program

The June 1 Nimble Thimbles meeting is sure to please, as we are having our first of two teaching nights. Four ladies have agreed to teach us techniques and tricks for making our quilting life easier. Please join us as we explore the how-to's and have some fun visiting at the same time. Small groups will lend themselves to everyone participating. See you there!

Bags, bags and more bags!

At our May 18 Nimble Thimbles meeting, we are pleased to welcome Barb Cressy. Barb is a local teacher who is known by many people, having taught at several shops and venues over the years. She is joining us to do a trunk show of bags, totes, purses, carry-alls, and miscellaneous fun projects. Her creativity and clever tricks for changing patterns is her trademark. We are really looking forward to having her join us!
