MSHS Is On The Move

For those who may not know, MSHS is in the last year of its lease at our Falcon Heights location. For the past several months, a group composed of some MSHS staff along with a number of Board members has been reviewing options for a new MSHS facility to house our offices, classes, library, and retail store. Having worked for many years with the limitations imposed by the current office, our intention is to find new space that will enable us to better serve our members and customers. We're confident we'll be able to meet that goal in a new location, and we'll be providing regular updates as we move forward.

 

2010 MSHS Quilt
The theme for the 2010 quilt will be “A Country Flower Garden”. We would like to ask those interested in submitting a block for this special quilt to use pastels in 9.5” unfinished blocks. Our deadline for receiving these blocks will be December 1st, 2009. This deadline will allow us to finish the quilt in time for display at the Minnesota Home and Patio Show and the Minneapolis Spring Home and Garden Show in February 2010.  See the 2009 quilt. Call the office at 651-643-3601 or 800-676-6747 if you would like the 2009 quilt sent to your next garden club meeting for raffle ticket sales. A big thank you to all the quilters for supporting this project.
--Rose Eggert, CEO
