Quilters United in Learning Together

Q.U.I.L.T., Inc.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: In keeping with NYS remaining "On Pause", our May 8 guild meeting has been canceled, as has the May 7 workshop. Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill has been rescheduled for fall, 2021. In a sense of caution, our June meeting has also been canceled. We look forward to seeing everyone in September.

Q.U.I.L.T., Inc. Snow Policy: If Bethlehem schools are closed or delayed 2 hours due to weather or illness, there will be NO QUILT meeting; if schools are delayed for 1 hour, the meeting will be held.

The School Closing policy - whether for weather or illness - still holds. If there are other circumstances (such as the DRC closing its facility), then an email will be sent out - with as much lead time as possible, but could be as late as the morning of the meeting. Please use your best judgment, depending on your own circumstances, about attending any guild function.

CAUTION: If you have received any strange emails saying it is from Mary Phillips (this month or last) requesting a favor or anything else strange - PLEASE IGNORE. They are not from her.

YOU'RE INVITED!!! Please come and share your projects.

Join us for a virtual show and share on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/quiltinc/.

Look for a post inviting show and share and post photos and/or comments about what you're working on at home in this time of self-isolation.
