April showers bring May flowers! It also allows us quilters a good reason to stay inside and quilt! So not only does rain bring flowers, it brings Quilts!!!!

Now that you have renewed your membership, did you remember to pick up your new card? This year’s colour is yellow! Your membership number should remain the same as past years. Be sure to keep your membership cards handy when going shopping as some quilt/fabric shops may offer a discount if you are a guild member in good standing. Membership also allows you to sign up for workshops, and borrow library books.

We currently have 129 members registered and we had 94 in attendance at the last meeting. If you know of someone who has been a member in the past, remind them to renew their membership. Although this is not a quilt show year, in order for a member to show quilts in the show of June 2014, a member must be in good standing as of the beginning of December 2013. So why not renew sooner rather than later and enjoy the benefits of membership.

A membership list is now ready for distribution. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to email me.

Remember to bring your nametag in order to win the door prize. Congratulations to our March winners: Sandi Hill, Karen Wong, and Suzanne Patchell. Be sure to remember to be wearing your nametag in order to claim your prize, should your name be drawn.

Nametags are available, if you forget to bring yours, and are $1 each.

Have a wonderful month, and Happy Stitching!
