The Quilt Show Committee has been hard at work making plans for your PioneerGarden of Quilts Show on April 16-17, 2011. Sue Roy as arranged for us to have a tableat the Oklahoma City Quilt Show on January 13-15th, 2011. There will be no charge forthe booth. We are asking for volunteers from our guild to work ½ day shifts at the boothto hand out fliers for quilt shops and businesses and bookmarks to any interestedquilters. We will also have tickets to sell that day. Please help us out by volunteering tohelp at the booth.

We plan to hand out a little bag of goodies to guests at our quilt show. We willhave calendars that have highlights of our meetings on them. Do any of you have sugges-tions for little craft items or free gifts you have discovered on the internet or the Hous-ton Quilt Show? Would any of you like to make some little favors for our bags?

Right now, publicity is important. If you frequent any business or quilt show thatwould permit a flier taped inside their window or would pass out bookmarks about ourshow, please contact Roberta Lee or Jane Thomason, or pick some up at our next meeting.

We need your quilts to display. Two of our members were very helpful and madea list of the quilts for our committee to see. That gives us an idea of how many quilts areto be brought and the type of theme they have. We would appreciate your doing that andgiving it to Nancy Shepard. The form that must be filled out for every quilt will be inthe newsletter and on the blog. All of you please plan to show one or many quilts! The

quilts will not be judged. We will not display quilt tops, quilts must be quilted and bound.Thanks,
