Fat Quarter Lotto
Do you
have extra fat quarters around the house? Do you love to win fabric?
Each month at the guild meeting, we will hold a Fat Quarter Lotto.
To
participate, bring a fat quarter in the theme of that month (see page 5
of the
May 2012
newsletter).
For every fat quarter you turn in you get a chance at
winning all the fat quarters in that theme. Remember, fat quarters are
18" x 22".

Storybook Quilt Program
We had a fantastic and very successful 2011. We can’t wait to see
the great quilts you have been working on. There are still books
that are in need of quilters.
We look forward to see what 2012 has in store for the storybook
quilts. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with the children of
Allen.
Don’t forget about the great storybook photo album. This album has a
picture of each quilt and book. This album will sit with the display
at each meeting. When you are talking to new members about the
storybook program, feel free to flip through the album and brag.
Since we don’t always have the quilts to show, this will help us to
explain our awesome program to guests and
visitors.
Questions? Contact Heather.

Advocacy Center. They are requesting: diaper rash medication, baby
shampoo, powder, and clothing up to size 16, boy or girl.
The May guild meeting will be Community Service Night. We will be
making laundry bags and quilt tops.
Our next work day is May 19, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Thanks so much to all of you who have donated books and magazines, as
well as kits and project brochures. There is something for everyone on
our shelves, and I hope that each of you will take a few minutes of your
time at our meetings to get acquainted with all of our resources.
For those of you who like to read quilting novels, we have several new
ones added to our inventory, so be sure to look for them.
Just as a reminder, library items are available for check-out before
each meeting, and they are required to be returned at the following
meeting.
