Cincinnati Guild group and the

great webinars.
Original Creative Festival: This event is looking for modern
quilts to display at their show. If you'd like to have a quilt on display,
bring it to the June 11 meeting. The guild will get the quilts to the show and
have them at the July meeting for you to pick up. All quilts need a hanging
sleeve. E-mail info@carpet-cleaners.info if you plan to bring a
quilt.

Cincinnati Maker Faire: This unique event is taking applications
for makers to participate in the festivities being held September 13 and 14 at Cincinnati
Museum Center. As a guild, we'll apply, and if we're accepted, we'll be looking
for members to display their quilts and work the booth to demonstrate and
educate. (We wouldn't be selling anything at this show
—it's all about
sharing and teaching.)
