NEXT CHALLENGE DATE CHANGE
Our next challenge is WHY I PREFER THE MONTHS THAT END IN 'ER' This challenge will be due at the September meeting, a month that actually DOES end in 'er'. This challenge is to complete a piece up to 40" to a side, that represents your favorite thing about the months at the end of the year. This could be Christmas, Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Halloween, Autumn, Winter.. you pick your reason.
JULY MEETING
Gail Pritchard will be visiting us to speak about the Art Quilt movement in Ohio. We are trying to get some of her books to sell at the meeting.
FORMER CHALLENGE PIECES
Will be needed for the small quilt show that will be taking place at the Amherst Public Library from August 13th until August 25th. The Library is located at 221 Spring Street in Amherst.
If you made a quilt for any of the challenges, starting with the self-portrait challenge through the Novel Idea Challenge, please bring them to the August meeting. If it is okay with you, we would like to hang onto them until after the guild quilt show at the Metroparks (September).
BABY QUILT CHALLENGE FROM THE JUNE MEETING
The baby quilt challenge brought in many quilts from guild members. It was the largest turnout yet for any of the challenges
We also worked on baby quilts at the meeting that night. Teri W. had everything planned perfectly, and I think that we got many quilts done.
It's always hard to vote for just one of the challenge quilts because they all are so great, but we only have 3 top prizes and the 3 top vote getting quilts in the baby quilt challenge were:
PAT MAHONEY - FIRST PLACE
BARB LEAHEEY - SECOND PLACE
LINDA BELL - THIRD PLACE
