We are currently working hard on our next biennial "Harvest of Quilts" quilt show scheduled for Sept. 12 & 13th, 2009. The quilt show information will be posted when available.

In lieu of the guild's quilt show information, please check out the Sutter Breast Cancer Quilt Auction.

Sutter Breast Cancer Quilt Auction

The auction countdown has begun! So far we have over 300 extraordinary quilts. We will hang the quilts at the Sutter Cancer Center on September 27 and 28 at 9 a.m. If you can help on either day, please let me know. We will also need volunteers on November 1 to help with the live and silent auctions. I will have the sign up sheets at the September meeting. Those of you who have volunteered before know how much fun this is.

Now that we have all of these beautiful quilts, we need folks to bid on them. I will have bookmarks and posters at the guild meeting. Would you please take a few to pass on to friends and co-workers? Are there businesses in your neighborhood that would let you put a poster in the window or is there a bulletin board at your work or church? Breast cancer has touched so many lives, I'm sure you will find many people eager to attend the auction once they hear about it. Please help us spread the word.
