QUILT SHOW UPDATE



Dear Piecemakers,

Here are the details about our show. At the August meeting, I'll give out
pins you can put the titles of the quilts in (like our name tags) and
forms to fill out for each quilt. I suppose we should limit the number of
full-size quilts per person to two, because I remember we had that limit
in the past; however, Judy Dudukovich at French Creek tells me the space
we'll be using, which locks, by the way, has been enlarged and includes
!A WATERFALL!
It would be terrific if some of you would like to make your Genesis House
"A Quilter's Christmas" quilt block ornaments early so we could have a
"scale model" of our tree at the show. Also jolly and good would be
displays of some of our challenge quilts plus minishows of minigroups
(Ditto Chicks, Twisted Stitchers, and the art quilters who meet at Ritter
Library, for instance, and in fact any of you who sew together).

Please make your label pins for the show and attach them and the paperwork
to your show quilts and I'll collect them at the September 13 meeting to
hang Friday, Sept. 14, from 10:00 a.m. I'm not great with ladder work and
will appreciate all the help I can get hanging them (we'll have white
gloves). There will be ballots at the show for Viewer's Choice, and a
ribbon created by the estimable Tessa "Teri" Barile, and it will be
terrific to have plenty of our members there enjoying the show, hanging
out together, answering questions, and handling the quilts with and giving
out white cotton gloves.

Thanks, gals,
Susan
