IMPORTANT QUILT SHOW INFO:

Our Quilt Show Kick-Off will be presented at the March guild meetings at 1:00 and 7:00 PM. We are now less than 2 months away to our quilt show – May 4 & 5, 2019! Quilt registration continues through the April guild meetings, Color Challenge banners and ribbon medallions are due at the March guild meetings. Silent Auction items and Lovable Leftovers Boutique donations will continue to be collected, and volunteer sign-ups will continue. We appreciate all your efforts to make the quilt show successful, as it funds our programs and speakers for two years.

Our raffle quilt will be on display for one day at the International Quilt Festival in Rosemont on March 28, 2019. In exchange for the opportunity to sell raffle tickets and advertise our quilt show, we need guild volunteers during the Festival – March 28-30. As a Quilt Angel, you are assigned an area to watch that people don’t touch the quilts. Shifts are 2 hours, and you have FREE admission for the entire day you work. We still have 2 open times for Thursday March 28, and 2 open times on Friday March 29. Please consider giving time to our guild in this way. Sign up sheet will be at Guild this week. Thank you.
