The May evening meeting is:

Thursday, May 3 from 6 pm – 8:30 pm

Alfalfa’s Market
785 E South Boulder Rd
Louisville, CO 80027

Social hour begins at 6 pm with the program running from 7 – 8:30 pm. This month the program is Member Book Reviews. Members, and guests, are invited to bring their favorite quilting book to share. Please bring both the book and a project made from, or inspired by, the book you are reviewing. Photos of projects can also be shown. Participation is highly encouraged. If you would like to contribute a book review to the blog, you can do that here.

Don’t forget to bring your Polaroid Blocks for the swap! Members participating in the swap will each go home with as many Polaroid Blocks as they bring to trade. If you are stitching last minute, you can still find the tutorial in the member area.

OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS

The June 7 meeting will be all about Quilting with Precuts, presented by Claudia. She will go over some great ideas of how to sew with all kinds of precuts.

The Boulder MQG will be doing a Round Robin and signups are open through May 26! You can find the rules and sign up information in the Member Area.

We’ve had another great month of BOM participation! A huge thanks to everyone who has posted blocks on Instagram, it’s great to see all the different variations! You can get the April tutorial here, if you haven’t made it yet.

Make sure you’re using #bouldermqgbom18 and tag us @bouldermqg for your blocks on Instagram!

The May open sew will be May 26 (Memorial Weekend) from 9am-4pm and the monthly challenge is Spring Cleaning. We’ve all got fabric and craft supplies we don’t want anymore, bring them to share with other guild members. You can also bring books or patterns you are done with. We ask that this be a free table with no sales. Please take home anything you bring that doesn’t get picked up by another member.
