Syracuse Quilters March Meeting
What a wonderful turnout with new members and guests that brought so much excitement and fun to our March meeting. Seems like there is a lot going on in Utah quilting. Our Utah Quilt Guild Rep. Sandra, shared information of coming activities. She said that Springville hosts a wonderful quilt show running from July 23 to September 24 and you can submit entries July 15-16. She also reminded us that we can renew or join the Utah Quilt Guild on line and if you do it before March 31, you will be entered in a drawing. Other activities include a Heart Challenge with pretty fabric in blue and gray snowflakes that can be purchased from Sandra for $5.00 as well as Christmas Socks to decorate for Quilt Fest.
Tickets for this beautiful Opportunity Quilt made by Cindy Hutchinson may be purchased from Sandra. The quilt will be given away during Quilt Fest in September. For lots more information and to join or renew your membership, go to

Block of the Month
Last month Shelley brought us an adorable little heart block. It's so much fun to see how everyone interprets their block. This month, Marianne demonstrated a very cute green Shamrock block for March.

Thread, Thread, Thread
Karen gave us a wonderful lesson on choosing threads, especially how to read all those crazy spools and selecting the right type, weight and finish depending on what you are making.
