Annual Show

The 2009 show was held October 3-4, 2009 at the Gerald C. Wilson Auditorium with the theme Earth, Wind & Fiber. Thank yous goes to June Horn or Ilva Fox who were chairs of this year's show, they did a wonderful job. Soon the photos will be posted, please visit this page soon! Thank you.

In 2008, the Guild held its annual show and sale -- Stormy Nights-Cozy Quilts was the theme.The raffle quilt, Cozy Nights is shown below was raffled off and the winner was Joanne Brodie.

During each show, visitors and members are asked to judge the quilts in three broad categories: Best of Show, Best Large, Best Medium, and Best Small Quilt. Members also vote using these categories, with the addition of the coveted category, Members' Choice. This is the quilt judged by Guild members to exhibit superlative qualities of quilt making. Award winners receive a lovely ribbon and a cash prize for their achievements.

Category:	Name of the Quilt:	Creator:
Best of Show	Joyful Garden	Becky Applebee
Best Large Quilt	Monashka Dreams	Jocelyn Zwiefelhofer
Best Medium Quilt	Eureka!! It's Finished!	Sandy Peotter
Best Small Quilt	Rainbow of Hope	Sue Thompson
Members' Choice	Joyful Garden	Becky Applebee

A part of each year's show and sale includes the sale of raffle tickets for a quilt made by a Guild member whose quilt was honored two years ago with the award of "best in show". Raffle tickets are normally available for sale from Guild members beginning in September. Proceeds are used for service quilts, teachers, programs, and other operating expenses of the Guild. The quilt show is the only fund raiser of the Guild, so all guild members are asked to make and donate a small quilt (30" x 30" or smaller) for the silent auction that occurs during the show, as the Guild makes a commission on quilts sold. Connie DeWolf is in charge of 2009 raffle ticket sales.
