The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum is providing us with another opportunity to display and sell our works.  Each member will be allowed to enter one piece for sale.  The format is the same as before:  12×12 mat with an 8×8 opening.  These mat kits are available for purchase from Carol Patten for $5 each set.

Turn-in day is the May 19th AQuA meeting.  Jan Rickman  is our chair again for this event.  If you have questions, please contact her directly.

Congratulations to our Texas member Gay Ousley whose quilt “Portland Reflection” is featured on the Photo Finish page (next to the back cover) of the February/March 2012 edition of Quilters Newsletter Magazine.  It is a beautiful quilt and we’re so happy that Gay’s talents are being recognized.
