I just talked to a couple of ladies at church on Sunday to see if we could get a group together. We are planning to do so on the 1st & 3rd Thurs of each month. I just need to go to the board meeting next Monday and get it approved. I don't see any problems with doing it. Thurs are free days at the church. Nothing going on there on that day. Wish us luck. Maybe I will be able to (finally) get some of my UFO's completed during that time.

Did you know there are 2 small quilt shows coming up this weekend. Villa Rose (an assisted living community) in Bethalto, IL is having it's annual quilt show this Saturday 10-3. www.villaroseslc.com
There is also one in Highland IL at Faith Countryside Atrium, 1331 26th St. It is Friday 10-4 and Saturday 9-3.
Did you know there is a great little quilt shop in Troy, IL. It's called Sweet Annies and is on Market St. She just expanded and it's easy to get to.
I've convinced my hubby to come with me this year to the shows! I'm sure he will come home with plenty of ideas for new quilts for me.
