Trash to Treasure Sale
It is never too early to begin getting
your items ready for our annual Trash to
Treasure Sale in July. As you begin new
projects and look through your “stash” pull out
those fabrics that you know will not be used
again, roughly measure them, and bag them in
zip lock bags labeled with the amount of fabric
and the price.
You may wish to create a bag of
scraps. It will need to be marked “scraps” and
have a price written on the bag.
Also, don’t forget rulers, books,
patterns, magazines, and other items needed in
quilting. Let’s get started early.
Donna reminded us of the Trash to Treasure
sale at our July meeting. Please be working on
pricing and packaging items now. Wanda
announced that they will be meeting to
determine the scholarship winner. There are 6
applications to be considered. Tonya Page
reminded everyone to pick up and pay for the
quilt raffle tickets. Also anyone who has not
paid their dues to take care of that.
The Program was presented by our quilting
Diva’s. Wanda Schneiders on rulers and
cutting tips, Janis Mayfield on 9 patch short
cuts and ideas and Laura Deaver on magic
binding.
