Upcoming Meeting Programs

• April – Lynne Allen – Austin Area Quilt Guild’s 2010 Show–Entry Rules for the Wearables Category
  Business meeting to elect new officers and approve FY 10-11 Budget

• June Program will feature Lydia Fiedler on Social Networking.
• July Program will be a “Getting to Know One Another” Social Event Pot Luck. For the Wednesday, July 21st “Getting to Know One Another” meeting, each and everyone is cordially invited and encouraged to bring 1-2 pieces of artwork to share with the group and talk about what they do. Instead of having a brief Show and Tell at the beginning of the meeting, we will have a longer extended version beginning at 6:45 p.m. and culminating at 8:15 p.m. Afterwards, we can all mingle with one another and get to know each other better over refreshments. Please bring a simple and light refreshment to share with folks. This is very informal and could be something like chips, dips, cookies, veggies, fruit, beverages, etc… Until then, I look forward to seeing your beautiful creations and learning about what you all do.
• August Program: e-Textiles;  Incorporating Light in your Art with Inga Marie Carmel. Please see her article on e textiles in the Weavers and Spinners Society of Austin newsletter listed below. This is absolutely a must see program.

From South Lamar at the river
Go south on South Lamar from the river/Lady Bird Lake about four miles until you see the spaghetti-type highway on the horizon ahead of you. Go thru the light by Brody Oaks shopping center and pass under Ben White/290/360. Stay on the access road in the right hand lane. After the light at West Gate Blvd., start counting driveways. The church is driveways 5, 6, and 7. Driveway 5 is the Fellowship Hall, driveway 6 is the Sunday School Building and driveway 7 leads to the Ministry Building where we will hold workshops. If you get to the boat storage place you have gone too far.

From Mo-Pac/Loop 1 (going south)
Take the TX-Loop 360 South/Capital of Texas Hwy exit. Scoot over to the right-hand lane when you can, then after 4/10 of a mile take the exit to the right “Lamar”. At the top of the long hill you will reach Lamar Blvd and you will turn right. Lamar is a multi-lane divided highway at that point. After the light at West Gate Blvd., start counting driveways. The church is driveways 5, 6, and 7. Driveway 5 is the Fellowship Hall, driveway 6 is the Sunday School Building and driveway 7 leads to the Ministry Building where we will hold workshops. If you get to the boat storage place you have gone too far.

From 1-35
Take EXIT 230 (290/TX-71/Ben White Blvd) toward Johnson City. Go approximately 2.7 miles, then exit toward Lamar Blvd/West Gate Blvd. You will go through about two stop lights before you come to Lamar Blvd. Get into the left turn lane and take the left turn onto S. Lamar Blvd. At this point it is an access road alongside a highway. After the light at West Gate Blvd., start counting driveways. The church is driveways 5, 6, and 7. Driveway 5 is the Fellowship Hall, driveway 6 is the Sunday School Building and driveway 7 leads to the Ministry Building where we will hold workshops.
