Next Quad-City Knitter’s Guild Meeting
Date: July 12, 2007
Time: 7 PM
Place: BETTENDORF LIBRARY
Note from the President
The Mississippi Valley Fair is coming soon! For those who may be new, members promote knitting and the Guild by bringing lawn chairs and knitting at the Heritage House located on the north side of the Starlight Ballroom at the fair. We usually go on the Friday and Saturday, but are welcome to come any day we want. For those interested in tickets to participate in the demonstration, they'll be available at the July meeting or you can send us an email at qcknit AT gmail DOT com
I also have news about the upcoming Fiber Arts Festival. We have been asked to provide items for one or more showcases at the Children's Museum. If you have anything that you can loan that you don't want to put in the show, please bring it to the July meeting. It can be Afghans, sweaters, hats, purses, socks, samplers, etc. We will be arranging them sometime in August. We have also been asked to participate in a promotion for the show on September 15th. We will be demonstrating knitting at the Children's Museum on that day from 1 to 3 pm. Check you calendars to see if you can help.
I can't believe it, but Kim has already sent out letters to remind us that the Festival of Trees would appreciate donations of Christmas Stockings again this year. I guess that means that I have to decide on a design and get started. Although Kim told us last year that she wouldn't be doing it this year, she is. She told them that if they gave the ornaments to someone else, she would continue doing the stockings.
