At next month's meeting, we will have a demonstration by Watana on
a simplified Stack - N - Whack called Whack - A - Posie. If you have quilts
where you have used this method, please bring them to the next meeting. You may
bring fabric for this if you would like to work on it after lunch. Large print
with brigh colors works best. Bring your sewing machine and lots of flat-head
pins (flower top) if you would like to work on one of your own.
We will be trying to get up a new T-Shirt order for those who like
another Possum Town Quilter T-Shirt or if you would like a different order.
Judy S. was going to check with Eva Marie. Hopefully, we can do this at

The Ugly Fabric Swap took place at today's meeting. Each person who participated brought 1/3 of a yard of ugly fabric in a paper bag. Each person then drew a bag of ugly fabric. Their next task is to take the ugly fabric and make four blocks with the ugly fabric being the primary fabric. The block has to be a minimum of 8 inches. The participants will then bring their blocks to the business meeting and the guild will award a viewer's choice award for the ugly fabric block that gets the most votes. Sounds like fun!!!The due date is yet to be announced.
The meal for next month is BBQ. The following ladies volunteered to bring sides:
Marilyn and Kathy - Baked Beans
Julia - Cole Slaw
Barb and Watana - Desserts
