We will be holding our March meeting on Saturday the 4th, from 10-12. We will be meeting in a new location, the Mary E. Bartlett Memorial Library in Brentwood NH.
We are encouraged to carpool to this meeting as there is not much parking at the library. If you are able, please park in the ball field out back. We have also been advised to dress in layers as the room may be a little chilly when we first get there.
Carrie Zizza of It's A Zizza Machine Quilting will be demonstrating machine quilting with rulers for us.
Reminder: Signups are still open for the September Workshops with Jen Carlton Bailly. If you are interested in signing up you may bring the deposit with you to give to Amy or Judy at the meeting.

February Meeting Recap
We met on Saturday at the Kingston Library for our February meeting.
Marylee won our doorprize, which was a copy of "Make It! Patchwork" Magazine donated by Amy. This issue features a quilt by Jen Carlton Bailly on the cover, and Jen will be giving two workshops for us in September! More information on these workshops can be found here. The workshops are now opened to the public. Please get your deposits in to save your spot in the workshop.
Retreat: due to an increase in the Maine rooms tax, the price for retreat will be slightly higher than expected. The deposits may be made via check mailed to Barb, or there will be a post up soon with a PayPal button that includes a 3% convenience fee.
Block Lottery: There will not be a lottery block for March. The winner of the Polaroid blocks was Nancy. These were so cool to look through!
Block of the Month: If posting to Instagram, please use #smqgbom2017. These first blocks are looking great! Please note that there was a correction to the directions for the next block. Check the errata!
The Highfive was passed from Colleen to Judy to recognize all of the hard work that she is doing organizing the BOM and the block lotteries. Thanks Judy!
