Nine delightful artists shared the tables at the TAGY meeting held at the Park County Library, Cody, WY:  Cyndy, Ellen deG, Jan H., Alice, Sonja, Lili, Ben, Deanna (welcome!) and Marion.  A small but fun group!

Introductions were made, and each person was asked to tell a funny story about pantyhose (being used in the program).  Hilarious!  You had to be there!

Challenge for June meeting:  Purple & gold/Corner/TV program.  Put the colors, shape and theme together for a fun challenge!  Bring to June meeting.

This is what "corner" means: 

Challenge (annual) due in July is Quilt Map!  Be creative!  Any size or shape.

Announcements:  

    1. There is a NETFLIX show coming up in May called The Quilters.  Men are             quilting in a maximum-security prison.
