“INSPIRE” Quilting Bee and Pie & Ice Cream Social

We thought this would be a fun way to end our CCC INSPIRATION season and kick off the summer break.
This we be our last chance to make artistic letters for our INSPIRE quilt. We need more of certain letters. That’s why it will be a quilting bee! After the letters are finished we will assemble our results into our paper quilt. We will then enjoy pie and ice cream and admire everyone’s work.
One purpose of this year long project is to have the letters assembled into books for fund raising. The books will be donated to different Calligraphy related organizations and conferences and our own guild for a silent auction. The silent auction for Cream City will be sometime next season. SO......if you are interested in being one of the bookbinders, you can sign up and receive your letters at the quilt disassemble at the end of the evening. We would like the finished books back by the October meeting.
BRING:
Supplies for making a letter. Pens, markers, color pencils, embellishments, etc. Tools to cut and paste if needed. You won’t find out what letter you will be making until that night!
PLEASE NOTE: This project is separate from our last letter E. You still need to bring your COMPLETED E’s to the meet-ing. Hope to see everyone at the June meeting!

HOLIDAY TREE FOR OZAUKEE FAMILY SERVICES

***THINK SNOW***THINK SNOW***THINK SNOW***

Believe it or not it will soon be time to start working on the Holiday Tree project. This year we will be making bookmarks in the theme of snowmen or snowflakes. There will be some designs available at the June meeting to give you inspiration but in the meantime if you want to get a jump on the project dig out those snowman or snowflake stickers, stamps and quotes and start creating some bookmarks! Who knows maybe it will help keep you cool in the hot days of summer! I will start collecting the bookmarks in September and will continue through the November meeting.
Remember-THINK SNOW!!!
