April 16 Boise Basin Quilter’s Meeting CANCELLED

In helping to prevent “community contact spread” of the Covid-19 (Corona) virus, all meetings for April are now cancelled. Even though we do not have as many cases as most states, it is not a matter of “if” but “when” the virus will be prominent in our state as this virus expands exponentially. The Executive Board felt it was important to follow recommended social distancing guidelines and meeting size limits, especially considering our demographic. As a result, the decision was made to cancel ALL April meetings.

The April meetings include the Board Meeting on the 2nd; New Member Coffee on the 9th; the Guild meeting on the 16th, Schoolhouse on the 18th and the Quilt Show Committee Meeting on April 23rd.

As much as we all love our craft, your health and physical well-being are so much more important to us. We expect to see MANY UFO’s (UnFinished Objects) and PHD’s (Projects Half Done) completed upon return to our regular activities!

Be Safe and Sew On….

SHOP HOP

Since we are cancelling the guild meeting, it results in not having a sign-up table for Shop Hop!!

As of this writing, the Shop Hop is still being held as planned.  We need MUCH help from MANY members as we are staffing two locations this year to promote the guild and sell raffle tickets for our quilt. You may work at Quilt Crossing, 10959 W. Fairview in Boise; or work at Quilting Bliss, 310 Third St. S in Nampa.

We need one person for our opening shifts on weekdays and two people to work all other shifts. Shop Hop is April 16th – April 26th. The shifts are three hours each; 9-12, 12-3 and 3-6. Pick a day, grab a friend, and work a shift OR TWO!  To sign up: contact Sonya Parisi at sparis2244@yahoo.com or call her at 208-794-4404.
