MEMBERSHIP DUES

Hard to believe but it is time to begin looking ahead to next year.  According to our bylaws, membership dues are to be paid by the first meeting in January to be included in the new directory.  However, it is always better to have them paid and distribute the new booklet in December……so you know what’s coming in January!   It’s time to think about getting dues collected.

2014 QUILT SHOW

We are searching for someone that has the skills to paint advertising signs for the guild.  These are sandwich style boards, 2 of them, to be set out for the public.  Does anyone letter or paint?  Do you know someone that might be able to help us?  Please contact Laura Noletti.

Have you begun one of the challenges for the show yet?  Don’t wait too long!!!  Inspiration can be found all around you!  Challenges for the show will be

1.  A City-scape that could be a city skyline; a "city" view including a scene from above; a close up of an event or location, etc.  These quilts must be 120 inches total perimeter or less.  This means they must measure 120" or less all around.  For example, a 30 by 30 quilt would be a maximum size square.  The measurement of all sides must add up to 120 or less. 

2.  Shades of Blue - This project must be at least 50% blue (backing does not count).  This perimeter limit is 200 inches.  It can be clothing, home decoration, quilt, bag, wallhanging, etc. Clothing, bags, and other like Items do not have size limits.
