 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

TWO NEW "BOMs"
(Blocks of the Month)

Beginning in October and lasting for 6 months will be The Roaring Twenties Block of the Month from Studio E Fabrics. The finished quilt (72" X 84") is a gorgeous Art Deco pattern in the rich colors of "Peppered Cottons" designed by Pepper Cory for Studio E Fabrics. (Peppered Cottons are yarn-dyed shot cottons, meaning the weft and warp are two different colors, giving each color a unique look.) Quilt designer, Judith Gauthier, has recorded several videos for help in sewing each month’s block that are available on the Studio E Fabrics website.

CHANGES
As she has recently stepped down from the Co-op's Board of Directors, the Board would like to acknowledge the contributions, for over a year, that Patti Peterson has made to Quilt Shop Co-op's growth. Patti was instrumental in setting up Like Sew, (the shop's POS system), creating a budget for the past fiscal year, assisting with financial matters, finding money-saving resources, serving on the Inventory and Annual Meeting Committees, and much more. Thank you, Patti!

Caroline Rinker has agreed to be an interim replacement to the Board. Caroline is recently retired from her work in marketing and business development. This summer she has been active on the Co-op's Marketing Committee, where she has shown energy, initiative, and thoughtfulness. Caroline is most interested in helping QSC to stabilize and grow, and to recruit more volunteer members.
