THE QUILT SHOW GUIDE IS ONLINE; ENTER YOUR QUILTS!
Our Mayfest Birds of a Feather quilt show will be here before you know it.  Click on Quilt Show, above, and it will take you to a web page where you can link to our 2012 Quilt Show Guide.  The show guide has information about when, where, and how you can support our quilt show.  On the Quilt Show page, you will also find a link to the quilt entry form, where you can complete an online entry form for our quilt show.  Registration is open until March 19, 2012; you must be a guild member to enter a quilt.  Enter your quilt and help make our quilt show a success by showcasing the talent of our guild members!
 
NEW-->> LOTTERY BLOCKS  
The January lottery block is a 7-1/2 inch (finished size) "Shoo Fly" block made in a primary color and off-white fabrics; it is an easy block to make.  How does the lottery work?  Make two blocks.  One is for the lottery; the other is for the guild's August 2012 auction.  For each two blocks you make, you get one chance to win all the blocks in the lottery set.  The more you make, the greater your chance to win - and the guild block-set raises funds that help pay for our programs.  For instructions on making the lottery blocks due at the next guild meeting, click here
