  • Need a new editor for the Utah Beeline Newsletter, due to the present one is going on a mission in July. 
  • There is a year 2020 calendar of pictures of the Opportunity Quilt for sale.  They are $10 a piece and will be for sale at UQSM 
  • Be ready to volunteer for Quilt Fest


There were two new ladies at the quilt meeting ... Deanna and Lauri (not sure if I spelled their names right, apologies)
