Meeting June 16, 2016

Posted on June 20, 2016 by Martha Eaton | Comments Off

Greetings all from Beautiful Grand Manan!

Summer made a spectacular entrance this past weekend, and seems to be continuing. Despite a strong SW wind (that kept the bugs away *:) happy

) yesterday evening, it was a great weekend for gardening and gathering with friends on the deck.

On Thursday we welcomed back Peg and Claire after their surgeries, both successful! It was great to see them both walking with less pain and more vim! Mary H. spoke about the show, and members were reminded to submit their registration forms ASAP to Martha. Also, remember that we will be featuring “Tools of the Trade” in our “little room” off the main hall. Sharing that small room will be a small memorial display to our past member Gladys Leighton. The Tools of the Trade display needs contributions! Do you have a special kind of knitting or quilting accessory that you can’t live without? Do you love a certain brand of cutter or hook if you hook rugs? Please be ready to share your tools, no matter what sort of work you do. Remember that many of our viewers do not know a lot about our crafts, so even things we take for granted will be new to many.

As usual, we will have a Viewer’s Choice ribbon for the item that visitors admire, thanks to Dawn, and we will be selling tickets on our own wall hanging, “You Have (Air) Mail”.

We will be accepting registered entries to the show between 6 and 8 pm on Wednesday, July 6. July 7 will be our busiest day, when we need lots of help to “hang the show”. The doors open at 11 am on Friday, July 8 (11-6) and Saturday July 9 (10-4). Please spread the word! The notice is on Facebook, and posters are appearing on island bulletin boards.

Sorry about not sending these letters on a regular basis – life has interfered…..

Attached you will see a photo of Dawn’s and Mary H’s quilts using the same pattern, but different colour ways. What a difference colour makes! We will be displaying these quilts side by side at our show (only a month away!!!). Last week we distributed registration forms for items to be entered in the show, and so far I have only two returned. I am attaching a copy of the registration form to this letter, so you can download and print it out for yourself if you didn’t attend the last two meetings. Deadline for submission of entries is June 22. I need time to list all the entries, then pass on that info to Nancy McH, who will type the labels for each entry. As you can imagine, this takes TIME! I would encourage you to get your registration forms in to me ASAP, either by mail, email, or in person. You will see posters around the island this week….if you can find them under the many others posted on most boards!

We also wished Wendy F happy trails as she and Ron move from White Head to Sherbrooke, NS, where Ron is assuming a pastor’s position. Wendy is one of our founding members, and was instrumental in allowing us to call the NH Baptist hall our base.

If you have questions about the show, please phone Mary H. at 662-3978, or me at 662-8988. Also, please beat the bushes for quilts that have not been shown in our show before. Do you know this is our FIFTH biennial show and sale? Lastly, we will need MEN to help with fetching the stands from Mary’s shed on July 6th (evening) as well as with set up on Thursday, July 7th.
