Don’t forget, the October meeting is coming up!  The meeting will be at our usual location, the Holy Trinity Church in downtown Akron, next to the Haven of Rest on October 15th.  Social time starts at 6:30 PM with the meeting officially beginning at 7.  This month the Round Robins will be revealed, and be sure to bring your first & favorite quilts to share.

The quilt show is almost upon us and lots of questions are roaming around about quilt registration.  Here are some details:

• You may register quilts up until the end of quilt drop-off.  It is probably not a good idea to mail your forms this late.  Just bring your forms with your quilts to drop off. 
• Quilt drop-off days are Saturday, September 12th and Sunday September 13th from 1 PM to 4 PM at the Bath Church, 3980 West Bath Road in Bath, Ohio.  Plenty of extra forms will be available if you need them.
• Bring each quilt with a label sewn on the back with a minimum of your name and the name of the quilt on it.  Don’t worry, the label will be covered during judging. 
• Bring each quilt folded in its own pillowcase cover.  Label the pillowcase with your name and the name of the quilt.
• Quilts do not require a hanging sleeve.  If your quilt already has one you don’t need to remove it.
• You may enter up to 5 quilts. 
• Quilt entry fees are $5 for the first quilt and $4 for each additional quilt.  Cascade guild members and show volunteers pay $3 per quilt.  Make checks payable to the Cascade Quilt guild
• Juvenile entries (up to age 16) are free.
• Quilt pickup is after the show closes at 5 PM on Sunday, September 20th at the church.  Members will take down the quilts as quickly as possible when the show closes and get them ready for return.

This month we will be meeting at the Polka Dot Pincushion (4131 W. Streetsboro Road) at 6 PM for an Amy Butler trunk show.  At 7 PM we will move to the Richfield Library (3761 S. Grant St., Richfield) for our regular meeting.  This is the last meeting before the quilt show, so please try to attend!

If you haven’t paid your dues please bring it to the meeting or mail it to Becky Y.

The picnic was a grand success!  Lots of good food, conversation, games, and of course…quilts!  Check out the quilts and other sewing projects shown at the picnic.  Show and Tell - July 2009
