Remember, this is a community event! Allison will be approaching some quilt shops to request donation and/or use of
sewing machines. Please contact Patti if you have a donation or have a contact in the community who would like to make a donation.

avoid multiple requests and missing potential donors.
A new "Sew Magic" Quilt Show Facebook page will be launching soon so we can let the public to see our quilt show plans. On the guild Facebook page and website, you will find the price tags and inventory sheets for the guild store (please ensure that price tags are printed on cardstock not computer paper). These will be available at upcoming meetings too. Sherri and Sue have lots of ideas for advertising. These will start being implemented soon. Raffle quilts have been appraised and plans are in place to get the raffle organized!
