Well after 14 months we were able to finally meet up in person. Because of Covid it was outdoors and limited to 50 people (we had 51, don’t tell). It was cold but so fun too!

Our Unsung Hero this year was Thora. A rule for the unsung Hero is that they cannot be a Board member and I think this is the first year Thora was not on the Board in over a decade!

Challenge Blocks for quilts of valor

At our meeting we voted on the best challenge blocks. 30 blocks came in and there were five winners as nobody did a block with hand quilting. Donna P won for best machine quilting, Carol Ast is holding the two winning blocks for Carol Bowery. Donna B won for best embellished and Karen G. won for best pieced,

We named the three Opportunity Quilts:

Dream Catcher

Midnight Prairie

Southwest Harvest

Thank you to the five people who signed up to help me sell raffle tickets. do you have preferences as to which quilt we should use for the raffle, as an advertising and prize quilt for the auction and which would do best in the auction? Let me know in the comments.

Thank you too for the 19 People who signed up to help with the Auction. Expect meetings to start in early August. I forgot to mention it at the meeting but I have auction donation forms. This year they are only half a page, the same for live and silent auction and you only need to make 1 copy per article. You can print them from here:

And then there was Show and Tell
