Promise of spring imageChallenge Quilt Display – “It's a Material World”

Our members were asked to interpret our show’s theme – “It's a Material World”. Their quilts could be inspired by places they have traveled or fabrics from other places, or their own ideas of "material world". The only limitation is that the quilts’ perimeters may not exceed 100 inches. Vote for your favorite!

It was designed by Lisa Smith and uses fabrics from around the world.  The quilt fits a queen size bed and can be yours for a $2.00 ticket, or better yet, buy 3 for $5.00. See a member to purchase your tickets or buy them at the show. The winner’s name will be drawn at 3:00 on Saturday, October 7, 2023. You do not need to be present to win.


Where does the money go?

Proceeds from this quilt and the entire show are used to support our educational programs and community service activities. Giving of our time and talents to local and not-for-profit organizations has always been a hallmark of our guild. Your generosity will help us continue this service.
