Valley Quilt Guild www.valleyquiltguild.com April 2012

I do not know about the rest of you, but I am anx-ious about the Easter bunny--always the kid!! I sent Easter baskets to my son and his fiancee earlier

this week. The woman at the post office assured me that it does not matter how old the children are--it's a "mother thing." And, I hate to bring this up, but I hope that all of you got your taxes taken care of. I contemplated wearing "mourning clothes" to my appoint-ment--LOL. Next week, I am going to Playa del Carmen for a

few days--fly out on Friday and back in on Tuesday. Playa del Carmen is a re-sort area that is south of Cancun. Ernest and Ellie want to look this over as a possible wedding venue, and they asked if I would like to come along--Ellie's mother is also coming. This will be the first time that I will use my passport and it has been renewed--never too late, I guess. Get the tequila shots ready--whee!!!!!!!

Don't forget--this month's general meeting (April 25th) will start at 6:30. With an earlier start, perhaps we will not have the "rushed" feeling to-ward the end of the meet-ing. Have a great April, and try not to eat all of your Easter basket candy in one sitting. Be safe! Gladys

Greetings from Gladys

Community Service

Ladies, we had 19 quilts turned in for the March 29th meeting. Thank you. Our stash is growing for the give-away in June. Dee Jagerhorn with the coop group, Millie Berryhill, Beryl Burtis, Cooky Amarel, Judy Marti-nez for the Thursday Stitch-ers, Waneta Ford, and Rae Brougher turned in quilts.

Evelyn Nolan turned in two shriner bags. We ap-preciate the time and work you put into these quilts and they will be do-nated to agencies in our area.

Please consider working on the Community Ser-vice team. Community Service will need three or

four people to work on this worthwhile team. A new team will be needed soon. Let Gladys or someone on the present team know if you would like to do Community Service.

I would like to thank Lisa Lundin and June Muncy for their leadership at the

Community Service booth at the quilt show. Many other people helped make blocks which will be made into quilts for fu-ture giveaways. Lisa and June have donated a lot of their time and work to Community Service. Muriel Van Middlesworth

The April 28th meeting for

QGNQ will be held at the
