Please use the following link for details and guidelines on how
individuals may submit a quilt for this exhibit:

Some of

December

Guild members decided to change our give away of the guild quilt to this date
instead of the spring festival date. This will allow more time for ticket
sales. Guild members should think of craft and food items to sell for
fundraising for Meals on Wheels at this function.

secured information for us to create a logo for our Piecemakers Quilt Guild. A
quilt block will be selected to represent and to incorporate our name. Members are asked to suggest their favorite
quilt block to the meeting so we can decide what will best represent our group.
She also wants to add our name to the state and national organization. The
group liked this suggestion.
