Extending the Sign Up Deadline

Please note new deadline: May Chapter meeting
June, August + October Classes
Cranberry Pinafore
Shepherd's Bush Sampler

----------

In case you missed the announcement,
the Shepherd's Bush SAL
sampler sign up deadline has been extended.

When the sampler was originally ordered, it took apx 6 weeks
to arrive at the LNS.

Recently, when the kits were ordered for members,
it took apx 1 1/2 WEEKS to arrive!

So - if you missed the sign-up deadline and would
like to join this SAL --- you can gamble on the kit
arriving before the first class in June.

Remember, you can always bring a doodle cloth
and sit in for the instructions + tips from Debbie L.

This project is loaded with beautiful
stitched bands - the specialty stitches will be
taught by Debbie over three classes.

Quilts on Display

Two local venues are showing quilts this spring!

"Amish and English: Quilts from the Illinois State Museum Collection" is on at the Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery (201 West Tenth Street, Lockport, IL 60441) now until September 16, 2011. The gallery is open Monday-Friday 9 to 5 and Sundays 12 to 5. Note: it is not open Saturdays. Free admission and parking (plus there's a great quilt shop, Thimbles, just a block away.)

The second show is at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts in Michigan City (101 W. 2nd St. just north of the outlet mall). The quilt above is by Tommy Fitzsimmons, from her show "Tommy: The Material Girl." It opens April 16th and runs until June 26th.

Also showing at the same time at Lubeznik are two other shows that will be worth seeing: "Woman as Artist, Woman as Muse: Diamond Collection of Posters of the Belle Epoque 1890-1910" and "Vintage Vogue: Cover Art from the LCA Permanent Collection."

Lubeznik is open Tuesday-Friday 10-5 and Saturday and Sunday 11-4. The center is also free with free parking.
