Not to men- tion our gardens, sewing projects and all the quilt shows going on. I hope you will all find time in your busy lives to attend at least a couple of these events. \ Plans for Hands Across The Water are steaming along. Barb and the HAW elves did an entertaining little presentation at the monthly meeting as some members still didn't know the details. If you are still unsure of the details I'm sorry to say there is no hope for you, and you aren't al- lowed to come!! This is the last newsletter I need to write as president so I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone for your support over the last two years. The ladies on the committees have been he- roes. They always step up, get everything done and make it look effortless besides. Not once in two years have they let down the guild or done a lousy job of anything. I hope you all realize how truly fabulous you are. I could not have done all those meetings without you. I have had my ups and downs but over all it has been a privilege to be able to contribute to the guild. Thank you Shirley Woodbeck, who al- ways manages to stay in the back ground. But somehow the job gets done and the finished product miraculously appears. June Boyle is another sleeper. She doesn't make a fuss but the goodies are taken care of, the venues are organized with help from Joan Fentiman, they make it look effortless. Ardythe Crawford also does a huge amount of work for this guild and deserves a big thank you. Norma McNeillie has done a great job organizing hundreds of favors for HAW as well as many other tasks through- out the year. I have to say thank you to Judy Morrison as well. You've been a great "straight man" and it has been a pleasure abusing you for two years. Many more of you have worked hard and are the heart and soul of this guild. Good job! You‟re the Best!

No new books have been added to the library this month. Hope you have had a chance to look at some of the many books we have added in the past few months. Remember that updated lists of the books available in our library are available on our website sorted by book number (remember to check the date column to see which books are the newest), by title or by au-thor. Thanks to the members who submit book requests. It is nice to know what you want to see in our library. All are welcome to request books for the library by completing a bright pink NEW BOOK REQUEST form found in the front of the library binder. Make sure you place the completed form back in the pocket where you found it. We check for requests every week but do not place an order until requests total $40. This allows us to take advan-tage of FREE SHIPPING from Ama-zon. We do ask that you request books that are of interest to fellow guild members. Remember our loonie auction is coming up in less than two weeks time. It will take place as part of our wind-up on June 11. We have a sev-eral donated books and patterns but would welcome anything you would like to donate. Smaller items could be brought to the library committee ahead of time but we would ask that larger items be brought in on the day of the auction as our storage space is somewhat limited! Proceeds will be used to continue upgrading our library. Keep using your library and keep on quilting! Coleen and the library crew

At the executive meeting in April it was voted on and passed that from now on there will only be one list issued at the November General Meeting. That gives members a generous grace period to pay their dues. For the rest of the year new members names; changes of address, phone numbers, email addresses, etc will be posted on the bulletin board. ADDED for June It was decided at the last executive meeting (May) that it would be a good idea to begin registration for membership for the 2009/10 year, starting at the windup potluck party on June 11th, rather than wait until the first business meeting in September. This way, you will be able to register anytime between June 11th and the September meeting, making it easier for everyone and hopefully everyone will be paid up by the September meeting. We would like to be able to make the complete membership list available as soon as possible in the new fiscal year, so that everyone has access to who is in the Guild and all the information that is sent out to members via e-mail is accessible to all members right off the bat.
We will be asking each member to fill in a short-ened version of the original registration form so that we have all the information correct for input into the list. So, please help your membership committee and register early.
Thanks so much. Membership Committee
(Lynne, Myra and Verna)

Just a note about REFRESHMENTS and Closing up
after the meetings -
Did you know that we have the greatest bakers in the
world in our QUILT GUILD??? Every month and
sometimes in between, they bring us such delectable
goodies, we are SOOOO spoiled! AND we love it!
So to continue onto the next Quilting Business Meeting
Season (the first Thursday of each month) - we ask that
you BRING YOUR OWN MUG, and take it home
again. If you wish, you may pay $5.00 (10 meetings @
50 cents per meeting) at the beginning of the season,
then drink your beverage without worrying about hav-
ing 50 cents with you!
Make it easy for the clean up/close up crew - IF you use
an OAP cup, then wash it and rinse it and dry it and put
it away!
Speaking about the clean up crew - has anyone noticed
that it is usually the same people who volunteer each
month?? Isn‟t it time that you took a turn?? Tidy up
the Kitchen, straighten the tea tables, put away the
Show and Tell tables, bring in the Quilt Sign, put away
the Bulletin Board, LOCK the doors into the rest of the
building, Make sure the ROCK holding the outer door
open is INSIDE = How easy is that?

CHALLENGE QUILT:
The theme is “MY TRAVEL ADVENTURE”. Size: 100 inches circumference or less. All fabrics and embellishments allowed. Must have been made since Hands Across the Water 2008. Put your name and guild name on the back of your quilt. There will be a viewer’s choice award. We will all have an opportunity to vote. Please bring your challenge to the “Challenge Table” when you arrive. Have fun! If you need more information regarding the challenge, please contact Debbie Maxwell, at
250-336-2452.
QUILT BLOCK PATTERN: “AIRCRAFT” This block finishes to a 12 inch square (12.5 x 12.5 unfinished) The background is to be a light coloured fabric (white, pale beige, etc.)
The aircraft triangles are to be in medium and dark blues. The easiest way to cut these triangles is to make squares and cut them in half. The larger triangles need squares that are 6 7/8 inches on each side. The smaller triangles come from 3 7/8 inch squares. Bring your completed blocks on October 3rd and drop them off at the “Theme Block” table.
Hands Across the Water

Your name will be entered into a draw for each fat quarter that you bring. Place your fat quarter in the designated container at the “Fat Quarter Table” and fill out your ticket. There will be several draws, depending on the number of fat quarters entered.
