Quilt - Til - You - Wilt

July 17th, 2010

Georgi Shalhoob taught a wonderful block ( Four Play ) that was sewn into many different patterns. We had around 30 people there. The pot luck was a great success. Boy can we make good food ! Georgi gave out a prize for the most improved, the most accomplished, and a booby prize for the least accomplished. We will have pictures in the Chatter. Thanks Georgi for a great class.

Check out the Charity page for the Guild's new Ronald McDonald quilts project. The last time we made quilts for every room was 1997. We know individuals have donated quilts but this is so that the rooms can have a more cohesive look with matching bed spreads. The quilts need to be large enough to fit a queen bed as a bed spread. Smaller blankets are always appreciated. So far we have Hearts, Stripy and Tulip design for some of the rooms.
Contact the web master to indicate your circles' design.

12 for 12

Twelve for Twelve is a project for the whole guild. It coaxes us to finish unfinished projects and complete new ones. We must finish 11 items in a twelve month period to be eligible for a $25.00 gift certificate from the guild to be used at any of our local quilt stores. Many of the quilters send in their projects to be viewed in our 12 for 12 Gallery. Check it out!
