Inside This Issue:
A Message from Our President:
Hi All,
I hope by now you've had a well deserved rest after all your hard work
on our show. Visitors are still talking about your wonderful presentation. Our judge was truly excited about the quality of workmanship in
your quilts. So, ribbon or not, feel very good about your quilts.
Our May presenter will be Barbara Burke who will do a trunk show. Her
workshop will follow the next day at St. Andrews Church, 1528 Church
Road, Toms River. Barbara will instruct us in a new way to do drunkard’s path and the many different ways for block layout. By the way, I
found at least five different names for that block, but this way you all
know what I mean. A few spaces remain open. If you wish to come, call
Jane Schoonfield.
