Summertime Show and Tell
The following photographs are from show and tell and charity quilts shown at our guild meetings throughout this past summer. Enjoy the photos!
Trunk Show by Clarice
A couple of months ago, our guild president booked a trunk show by guild member, Clarice. We were wowed by the many beautiful quilts she brought to show us! She is a remarkable and talented quilter! This is only a small sampling of her work!
She has one of our members helping her by holding the quilts so everyone can get a good look at them!

Dare To Be Ugly Challenge Revealed!
In April, Thearica Burroughs asked the guild members if they would like to participate in a Dare To be Ugly Challenge. The show of hands was really great so she brought fabric to the next guild meeting and handed it out to the ones who wanted to take part. Fast forward to our August meeting and we have our reveal!
This was the fabric each person started with! The rules were that you had to use at least 90% of the fabric and you could add as much of any other fabrics as you wished to create your project.
The following are the results of the challenge! Everyone did a fantastic job and Mrs. Burroughs wishes to thank each and every one who participated!
Two other guild members made projects from the fabric but gave them as gifts before the reveal. They made a pocketbook and a totebag.
And........ the winning entry was this Topiary Tree wallhanging!! Congratulations!

May Meeting!
Our May meeting was lots of fun with one of the members demonstrating a technique, new to me, called Back Tacking Applique. She brought kits for each member and showed us how to applique in this manner. She has said that if we bring back the finished square that she will take them and make a charity quilt with them. However, if you want to keep yours, you are more than welcome to.
Our Christmas committee has asked us to purchase a gift bag and fill it with approximately $10 worth of gifts. These will be brought to the Christmas meeting and exchanged.
Our June Meeting will be back at the Senior Citizen's Center as will the June 12th workshop.
Show and Tell for the evening!
Thearica Burroughs also showed quilts that have been made for a current Quilt Raffle that she is hosting. 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities! This is the 3rd year she has hosted a raffle to benefit this worthy charity! Please see her for tickets if you are interested! There are 36 quilts being given away this year! She will show more quilts at the next meeting!
