UFO projects

Our UFO challenge is up and going!! We have a total of 34 participants in this year's challenge and, are you ready for this?, a total of 665 quilting projects to be finished. Absolutely amazing!

We are being assigned points for our quilts and there are "prizes" being awarded. We get one point for small quilts and two points for large ones. For each quilt finished off your UFO list, you get an entry into a drawing for the evening. Wonder how many points will be earned over this next year? Stay tuned. February saw a total of 41 points from 14 of our participants. That tells you we've been busy since January.

Our co-chairs for this year's UFO challenge have been involving the community to get donations, which gives both the donating business and the guild publicity. At our February 2nd meeting we had prizes donated from Hula's Chinese BBQ and Honey Run Quilters. The lucky participants are Judy Johnson for most points, most quilts finished, who received the dinner from Hula's and Judy Noble won the drawing for having finished at least one quilt and received the batting donation.

So, we are now looking forward to March to see what donations our co-chairs Lynne & Gail will have for us.

Our challenge is finish our quilts. Can you imagine 34 people finishing 665 quilts in a year? We will see if it gets accomplished.

Stay tuned!

REMINDER!!!! The UFOs are coming to a guild near you. Ours to be more specific. We have been challenged to get ourselves busy and finish those quilt projects that we started. Check out the Committees page and grab the info. The pages are to be turned in at our January 5, 2012 meeting. Make sure you are not left out. How many do you have lurking in your sewing room? Your closet? Under the bed? Stashed in a box to finish later? Maybe the one you started 6 years ago is one you no longer like. Turn it into a community service quilt and finish it.

Just remember, this is a challenge to yourself. There will be others competing against the clock with you. Get ready, grab your sewing machine and your thread and get ready to quilt!

December Meeting

One corner of the wall leads to.....

The whole Wall of quilts.

Our December meeting was fun filled and a lot of sharing went on. We had our Community Service wall of quilts. These quilts are made by our members and then they are donated to various organizations around the area. We've had people ask "How much for that quilt?" when they saw them. They were amazed when we said "We don't sell these, we give them away."

We also had a Christmas block exchange. The blocks were so good, we had a really hard time trying to vote for the best one! See what you miss when you don't attend guild? These three blocks were my favorites! But there were many more.

Just think - had you participated in this block exchange, you would be on your way to making a special Christmas quilt in which your friends had all helped. Come join us next year for this fun event.
