Next Meeting - July 3rd

Welcome to our new board as we start the 2018-2019 year for Nimble Thimbles.  Our new president is Jo Setliff.

• Good news at the last meeting we approved the budget.
• Membership renewals are due.  As part of the budget, we have raised the year membership for Nimble Thimbles to $25.00.  The current price of $20.00 is good until the end of June.
• In addition, the Arizona Quilters Guild price is lower for renewals until the end of June at $25.00.  After July 1st, the cost is $30.00.  You can renew online through https://www.azquiltersguild.org/.

     The first meeting in July we will celebrate the patriotic holiday by hosting, Jennifer Wilson, from Quilts of Valor.  She will be discussing what this program is including requirements for quilts and how to nominate someone for a quilt.
Show your U.S. country spirit be wearing your red, white, and blue; bringing any patriotic quilts you have for show and tell, and ...... 2 red, white, or blue fat quarters. We will be playing left, right, center to give you a chance to win a stash of fabric to start your own patriotic quilt.

We will also be introducing our new Block of the Month program.  This year we will work together making blocks for the Vintage Farm Girl book by Lori Holt.  Each month we will challenge you to make a block from this book and by the end of year you will have 12 blocks for a quilt.  Each person participating will need to purchase their own book.

July 17th

PUP (poor unfinished project) night.  For those who participated last year, bring in your finished projects to be included in a drawing for gift cards. For the 2018-2019 year, everyone is invited to bring a maximum of 3 PUP projects to present to the group.  We will vote on which one we want you to finish for the next year.  Lots of fun and laughs during this meeting.
