The Program chairs resigned for personal reasons which will push the annual auction until spring next year.

November is also our service month and there will be several tables set up to tie quilts.

Theresa Valentine and Peggy Peirson have volunteered to work on programs for the coming year.

Marketing for the raffle ticket sales will be split into venue segments, allowing guild members to take leadership for specific venues and the presentation of the 2012 raffle quilt and ticket sales.

We are still in need of a person / group to head the 2013 raffle quilt design and creation process.

Alzheimer's Priority Quilts.....

2011-05-16T06:00:00.000-07:00

Quilt County 2011

is including an exhibit of

Alzheimer's Priority Quilts

You can be a part of this Exhibit !

Please create a tiny quiltlet no larger than

9 x 12 inches.

(It must fit into a 9 x 12 Priority Mail Envelope)

Marcia Gilson will be thrilled to receive a tiny quilt from all of our members to be included in the Quilt County exhibit this summer.

" Sparrow "

8.5 x 11 inch

I am donating this quilt for display in Quilt County this year.

After the exhibit the quilts will be sent to Ami Simms

and auctioned off as

Alzheimer's Priority Quilts

Your donation quilt will only take 2 or 3 hours of your time:

" Leftover Sunshine "

9 x 12 inches

I used scraps leftover on the cutting table to create this sunflower quilt.

The background is a leftover rail fence block.

The flower petals were leftover from my previous quilt.

It took no time at all to put this together...

" Glitter for Gramma "

9 x 12 inches

This is a wholecloth quiltlet.

It was leftover from a class I taught on free motion quilting and beading.

No need for it to clutter up my sewing room, so I sent it off to

Alzheimer's Priority Quilts.

It sold at auction for $45

" Glitter for Gramma 2 "

9 x 12 inches

Yes, another class sample that was laying around the sewing room.

It sold during the Alzheimer's Priority Quilt Auction

for $40

There is very little expense and time involved in creating a

Priority Quilt.

Think of it as an opportunity to play with your scraps,

practice some impromptu design work,

and have a quilt ready to display at Quilty County this summer!
