It's Over

The photo above shows some of the projects that will be taught at our September Quilt Camp held at Wadhams Hall in Ogdensburg, NY

A few Challenge entries.

Our 8th Biennial Quilt Show is now a part of guild history. It was a wonderful weekend. The quilts, wall hangings, challenge quilts and other entries were amazing. Our guild members are extremely talented and diverse. First reports call the show a success. We had 499 signatures in our guest book. We wonder how many viewing the show did not sign in.

Chloe Ann and I are collecting our thoughts and asking for feedback from committee members and vendors.

The show was a group effort. We're a great team!

Many photos were taken throughout the weekend. I'll start posting more soon.

It's A Role!

We're all set up and ready to roll......
Members have been working since early morning.
It's a wonderful display of talent.

We hope to see you at the show!

Counting Down...

The Quilt Show is five days away.......Yikes!!

We'll be working like beavers Friday night tweaking it all, but I have faith that with our members help it will be a great show.

Clarkson University has construction going on. The main Clarkson entrance will not be available. There will only be one entrance open to Cheel. Signs will be posted for direction. Clarkson University does have a map posted on their web site that is helpful as well.

If you have any questions, give me a call at 315-265-3126.

One Month Away!

Our show opens one month from today!

Thanks to all who have signed up to volunteer for the various show duties. Chloe Ann and I touched base today and will be doing so every day from now on. We want to make sure all the bases are covered.

I spoke with a couple members who are putting the finishing touches on their entries. One member is dropping a king-sized quilt off tomorrow for quilting. She spoke of the binding job to come - it's a good thing she loves hand work.

100 Entries And Counting

We have 100 entries for our quilt show. The date for submission has been extended to May 20. Members - keep them coming!

Quilt Show Committee Meeting

We had a quilt show committee meeting this morning at Clarkson University's Cheel Center where our show will be held. The meeting was well attended.

Our members are busy completing show entries.

We're starting to receive registration forms. Lots of favors have already been made. Great posters were designed by member, Renee Holsen, and are available for distribution. I'm encouraged at the progress being made. Many hands make for a lighter load.

Our group business meeting will be held May 6. We'll schedule work times for members then. Jobs will include registration, hanging of quilts, staging of area, greeters, security, help with boutique, raffle ticket sale table, etc.

Registration Forms

Show registration forms were distributed at the April meetings and also mailed out with the newsletter. Members - please mail back to me as soon as you can. Deb Darou has offered to type up our program. She will need time to do this.

I've already received four (4) entries from one member. Thanks! We're off to a great start.

It's a cool, rainy day here in the north country. I've been cleaning and doing laundry (if has to be done once in awhile). I hope members are enjoying the day with sewing projects.

COUNT DOWN TO SHOW SET-UP - JUNE 12!

78 Days until show set-up on June 12. I've got to get my ducks in a row!
I hope our members are putting the finishing touches on their entries.
We have our monthly guild meeting on April 1. Registration forms will be available.

I'll be posting updates more regularly until show time.

Happy Spring and Happy Quilting!
