Holiday Quilt blocks 2009. This is our annual quilt project where members may participate to win a quilt where the blocks
are made by only our members. The lucky winner, Connie J. was announced at the Holiday Luncheon, Dec 5th. We look
forward to see how she finishes off the blocks she won.
New members, please note: The Holiday quilt is made up in kits. Each
member may purchase a kit for a nominal fee. The blocks are available
on a first come bases. They must be returned to the project Chair
before the Holiday Luncheon. Any
member is eligible to participate, but please remember even though we encourage everyone to make a block, if you have won
a prior Holiday Quilt AND have NOT finished it, you are not eligible to win another until it is finished.

Quilt Label Tips from Virginia
Swanson's Lecture April 19, 2010:
YOUR QUILT IS NOT
FINISHED UNTIL THE LABEL IS ATTACHED
INFORMATION THAT SHOULD APPEAR ON THE LABEL.
1. Name of the quilt.
2. Who made the quilt.
3. Where and when it was made.
4. Name of person made for (if applicable).
5. Size.
6. Name of pattern (as you know it. If made from a book, give name of book).
7. Who quilted it. (give credit, where credit is due!)
Also, it is a good idea to place your name, phone, & address on the inside area to be covered by the binding. That way if a label is removed from a stolen quilt, you can still prove that it is yours. Then secure the binding as normal. You can use a permanent Pigma Pen to write with.
