Hello PGHMQG Members! I hope everyone is well during these crazy times. Last week Leadership sent out the meeting slides that have an amazing presentation by Nikki and Missy on stripe fabrics, both how to make your own and working with fabric that is already striped!
The financial report is the same as last month.
Further cancelations are as follows:
- 2020 Three Rivers Quilt Show
- 2020 North Pittsburgh Guild Quilt Show
- PGHMQG Spring Workshop with B
- Leadership hopes to reschedule for later this year.
- PGHMQG Annual Retreat
- Leadership Hopes to reschedule this for Fall 2020.
Our current guild challenge is to create a quilt using stripes as a main focal point. There are no size or color restrictions! Finished quilts will be on exhibit at the PNQE Mancuso show in September. Quilts are due Sunday, June 7th.
Use hashtag #pghmqgstripechallenge when posting your progress.
Also, use hashtags #pghmqg and #showusyourmqg
There is no May meeting BUT never fear! Courtney will be making a slideshow presentation and blog post on how to use Instagram and Hashtags to find further inspiration from fellow quilters and to help others find your quilts!
We would like to thank everyone for their patience in moving forward. We hope that everyone stays safe and if anyone has a question please let Leadership know.
