For one month only, we will meet in the Dining Pavilion at Country Day School
Address is 4200 Country Day Lane, which is just north of the intersection of Bryant Irvin and Southwest Blvd/US 183.
Directions once you enter Fort Worth Country Day:
Hi all,
We will be meeting at Fort Worth Country Day this month. (Address is 4200 Country Day Lane, which is just north of the intersection of Bryant Irvin and Southwest Blvd/US 183.) Here are the basic instructions (and you can see the map attached).
You will enter at the gate off of Bryant Irvin Rd (there is a Valero across the street). At the gate you will tell the security officer that you are attending the FWQG meeting that is being held in the dining pavilion. Once you are on campus you will go past the pond (first stop sign) and then at the second stop sign you will turn right and follow that into the parking lot E. Once in the parking lot you will see the cafeteria in plain sight. I will put up a couple of signs, but it should be pretty easy. If you have any problems, call me: 817-721-0500.

We will not have kitchen access, so you should bring your own beverage and snack. We can put out some finger food snacks, but we will not have cups, plates, or napkins.
Yippee, we found a place to meet in July (thanks to Molly!). Since the whole thing was up in the air until the last minute, we had to be creative about the program. See full details in the Programs section, but I think you will enjoy it. I plan on bringing my Christmas Tree quilt. Everyone has probably seen it before, but I still love it. I think the most fun will be the challenge. Keep reading to learn more.
July is always busy, getting ready for the NTQF. Finishing touches on quilt entries and minis…sleeves…labels…and did you remember to look at some of the classes? I am sure there are still some volunteer spots open and we need great items for the booth. Remember to purchase your tickets at the July meeting. We have sold many of our ‘65’ this year, but we have 10 more, as of today.
And I am preparing to go on a month-long holiday to England, 2 weeks in the Cotswolds and 2 weeks in Greenwich. My husband and I are taking my parents. We look forward to spending some time with my son in Bristol. Haven’t seen him in a couple years!
And I had a great time at the Handiquilter Academy. I am already designing digital quilt patterns (and loving it).
We will be voting on the by-law changes at the beginning of the meeting. If you don't remember the proposed changes, the file is again attached at the end of this newsletter. We will try to set up Zoom so that you can vote even if you can’t make it to the meeting.
Hope to see you at the meeting. You do NOT want to miss the ‘freebie’.
Lynda
We are now less than a month away from the North Texas Quilt Festival. Pat Wagers and I have been collecting handmade items for our kitchen themed booth at every meeting, and we have a very nice variety of items. Some are one of a kind and will be priced accordingly. Then there are multiples of smaller, less expensive items. I apologize for not having more pictures to share, but I’ve been taking boxes to Link’s and my rented storage facility, and did not take pictures.
If you have donations to turn in, please bring them to our meeting on July 15th. If you cannot make that meeting, please email or text me, and we will make arrangements for them to be dropped off or picked up. My phone number is 817-578-5952. Please leave a voicemail as my phone silences unknown callers. Email is gstroud49@gmail.com. Both Pat and I live off Hulen Street south of Hulen Mall.
Many thanks to all of you who have donated so many nice things. I hope we’ll make lots of money for our guild.
Pictures include a table runner, a rug, and placemats made by Pat with 2.5 inch fabric strips wrapped around 2.25 batting strips. There is a Christmas table runner, Christmas and Texas themed table toppers, and scrappy bottle caddies.
