Limerick Show
Limerick Show will be with us in August and our IPS group will be having an area to display quilts, bags, pillows and everything beautiful. This display will be seperate from any competition that is judged at the show.
We would like to know what you will be displaying with our stand?
We are looking for volunteers to ensure that no one person is inflicted with a large amount of work. Please think about making yourself available to set-up, man a few hours at the show and take down the display.
This is a great opportunity to advertise our group and skills. At the May meeting we will be asking for your support.

A reminder that the Villiers sewing day is on the 9th May. The IPS meeting is on the second Friday of the month which this month will be the 14th May. An unusual time-tabling but hope that everyone will come along to help complete the Milford Hospice Quilt.
