News - Omaha Quilters' Guild

"Going Green" at February Board Meeting

The board will be discussing ways to "go green" and to cut the budget. On the agenda will be discussing whether to cancel the paper version of the newsletter or charging members who receive it a surcharge. Also up for discussion will be shifting from preprinted nametags to homemade nametags.

Additional Upcoming Sew-Ins

The guild will be sponsoring two more sew-ins in the upcoming weeks, albeit not for Helping Hands. They will be held in Sew Creative between 10:30am and 4pm on Saturday, January 21st and Saturday, February 25th. The facility can only accommodate about 20 people at a time, so please e-mail president@omahaquiltersguild.org or newsletter@omahaquiltersguild.org to ensure there will be space for you.

March Workshops with Mary Ann Kelmer

We have two upcoming workshops with our March Speaker, Mary Ann Kelmer. The one on March 10, 2012 is called "Fabric Rescue." The next day on March 11th is her "All Day Asymmetree Quilt Class." Please contact Judy if you wish to participate. Space is limited, so don't delay.
