The next meeting of the London Friendship Quilt Guild will be held Thursday, May 10, 2012 at St. George’s Presybterian Church. Our speaker for the evening is Elaine Quehl. We look forward to seeing her quilts and hearing about her work. This will also be our annual business meeting and with reports from the various Committees of the Guild. Voting for new officers will also take place.
Vendor of the month is Sew Creative from Mount Brydges.
