Sunday Sew Day

The April 14th Sew Day at Millhouse Quilts is canceled. I’m wondering if the fact that these Sunday sew days are limited by shorter store hours is deterring attendees? Does anyone have ideas for locations that would open up the sewing time to more hours on a Sunday? let me know what you think! Andria

Hello MMQG! Our bylaws need updating to reflect our newly elected treasurer. Please review the changes made. We will be discussing and voting to approve these changes at the February 27th meeting.  We cannot vote on them in January because the bylaws state….”Proposed amendments or changes to the by-laws must be posted on the Guild’s website a minimum of 2 weeks before the meeting when voting will occur.” BYLAWS edited 01/20/2013 Berkshire Quilters Replicate Susan B.

It’s Time to Pay Your Dues
