9:00 – Sign-In Table opens where you can:
- Pick up your ticket for door prizes

Just past the Sign-In Table is the Block Party display. Turn in your “Teddy Bear” appliqué blocks and/or your “Circle of Stars” pieced blocks that were presented at the May meeting. Across the room is the Quilts of Valor display where you can turn in blocks or quilts you made (just remember to put your name on each QOV item). You can also pick up a pattern or kit for the next QOV project.
9:30 – No Early Bird Class. Instead it’s the annual Country Store/Garage Sale (our version of a tag sale) with all proceeds benefiting the guild. Donate any quilt related items you no longer want – fabric, notions, tools, etc. but please DO NOT bring yarn or magazines and most fabrics should be cotton. All donated items are available for members to purchase!
10:45 – Lunch will be provided by the guild. Ham & cheese sliders, chips and cookie in a paper bag. Gluten-free will be ham & cheese over green salad with chips. Vegetarian will be a veggie slider with chips and cookie.

12:00 (approx.) – Speaker/Presentation. (To be announced later.)
12:45 (approx.) – Show and Tell. This will immediately follow the Speaker Presentation. Bring your latest creations to show to the group and remember to state your name when you come up on the stage so we can give you credit when we post the photos of your quilt on the website under Show & Tell.
At the conclusion of the meeting we ask that you help put away the tables and chairs (blue chairs on the west side of the room, beige chairs on the east side.
