On Sept. 11th we held our annual Dog Kennel Quilt Show. Each year we hold the event outdoors in one of our members gardens. It never seems to awe me as I enter and see all of the fantastic quilts displayed throughout. This year was no exception. The entire day was dog-gone perfect! The weather was gorgeous. We enjoyed a fantastic luncheon (the members contribute-and I think we are all pretty great cooks), had a fabulous trunk show, had vendors selling products, and had alot of visitors come.
After the show we have a member dinner with our hubbies. This way they get to see the quilts and realize that their wife is not the only one with the addiction. Also, it proves to them that we really do more than just visit and eat. Each year we sell tickets for at least one quilt, (this year we had four items), the funds received are donated to Primary Childrens Hospital.
Thanks to all those members who displayed quilts, brought food, helped set-up and take down, and headed up all of our committees. It's people like you that make our guild so great! WOOF!
Looks good, Jan! The quilt show was alot of fun and I loved looking at everyone's quilts. Everyone did such a good job and I thought your backyard was perfect for a quilt show. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteps. I'll be in AZ on the 9th, so, miss me....
Jann, I love the blog. I think it will be easier to keep everyone up to date and see all the fun show and tells. So glad to hear your daughter and her little girl are doing so well. See you Friday. Lynda
ReplyDeleteI also think the blog is great!!! Thank you so much for all your hard work getting the blog going and also for a great quilt show. I think the show was really nice and the weather was perfect. Jann you were a great President! Really glad your daughter and granddaughter are doing well. I will be at the next meeting.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about this blog. Love the pictures from the Quilt Show. Really sorry I couldn't be there; it looks like it was a great success. Lynda tells me she was "elected" the new president for the coming year. She will do a fabulous job. I'll post some pictures of what I'm doing down here (where it is warm). Looking forward to hearing from everyone, and seeing great pictures from you. Sue
