May Meeting: Room to Sew
At the meeting on May 13, four members will share photos of their sewing spaces and describe them,
giving us a chance to see where they work and what inspires them.
Summer Challenge—“Sew and Sow”
We’ll be randomly drawing seed packets at the May meeting for our “Sew and Sow” challenge, in
which we’ll be making something inspired by anything on the packet—color, shape, the flower or
vegetable itself, or even words. No restrictions on size or what you make—it’s up to you!
We’ll have a few extra seed packets to draw from, so if you haven’t yet told Maria or Jill that you want
to participate, talk to either of them before the drawing at the meeting. If you won’t be at the May
meeting, we’ll have a proxy draw for you. The reveal will be at the September meeting.

Meetings are scheduled for the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Each meeting is about 2 hours. The meeting starts at 7:00 but people start arriving at 6:30 for social time. The meeting is structured as follows: announcements, a speaker or topic and show and tell. All are welcome regardless of your skill level. Join in and share ideas and the love of quilting.
Visitors - Visitors are welcome! The first meeting you attend is free. Subsequent visits cost $5 to help cover cost of the space and continuing programs. We hope you will consider joining the guild, it is $36.00 per calendar year. Dues are pro-rated if you join later in the year.
Directions: The community center is off of Pilot Knob Road between Lone Oak Road and Yankee Doodle Road in Eagan. Turn west off of Pilot Knob onto Center Parkway. Follow the Center Parkway to the sign for the Eagan Community Center and turn right. Follow the signs for "all deliveries" which is the second right turn. The road will wind around to the lower level of the parking lot. Enter through the lower level door and look for the sign indicating our meeting room, normally the second door on the left. If you park on the main level and enter from the main entrance, you will take the elevator or stairs down.
