Warming Up At Old Time Saturday

The guild had another successful booth this year. Jackie was the chairman. Arriving early she  decorated and set up early with the help of Ann and her husband. Because of cold, wet weather the booth was wrapped on three sides with plastic and a plastic sheet protected the raffle quilt too. The booth was warm and cozy and the tickets sales were hot! Shifts of guild members manned the booth throughout the day and sold raffle tickets. It was a great sales day and the raffle tickets were almost gone. More tickets had to be ordered and we have only been selling for a week!

All The Colors Of September

Fall usually means lots of color. Leaves are turning orange, red and yellow. Pumpkins come out and pecans are being picked. We hear the crunch of leaves under our feet and the weather begins to cool. The guild brought out colors too.
Karen prepared a program on the Jinny Beyer color palette way of using color in quilts. Each of the members had a chance to make their own palette color wheel using small pieces of fabric. There were so many ways to combine colors! It was so much fun to see what would work together and how to add just the right "punch" to your quilts.

Carolyn and Pat look at what colors can do for quilts.
