As of September 28, 2011, the Rugby Quilters have become certified card carrying members of the National Quilters Association Inc. We have a charter, a number, a handbook, and a copy of the bylaws.
The benefits of becoming a member of NQA are staylng in touch with other quilt guilds around the country and having a resource for information concerning education, craftsmanship, documentation, history, teachers and events. It will be an advertising tool for our next quilt show and possible grants to help support the event. AND it gives us validation in the "quilting world". Thanks to all who helped in this endeavor.
Anyone wishing to join our group should know we try to meet every Wednesday at 2 p.m. Eastern Time and also Saturdays at the Friendly House, located just behind By Tiffany Terry
I thought it would be a good idea to try to keep a log of suspicious vehicles, but in order to keep down everyone's time I thought if it was alright with everyone I did not mind being the person to keep the log through e-mail. My e-mail address is supersport1@highland.net . If you would like for me to help keep track of any suspicious vehicle, just send it to me and I will log it. You never know when it may be helpful for future reference.

Yes, Coneheads have been seen in
The Round-Tipped Coneheads do have cones on the front top of their heads, though they aren't as pronounced as some of the cones on other species of Conehead Katydids. Their cones have a black line across the front of the cone's tip. These insects are hard to spot in meadows because their coloring blends in so well. Sometimes they're green and sometimes they're brown. The one I saw was green and was only about an inch long. The Round-Tipped ones don't seem to be afraid of humans at all. You can see a good photo of one on the tip of a man's finger at http://jimmccormac.blogspot.com/2010/11/last-conehead-of-2010.html
