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.
