It is so exciting to see the large display of quilts at the annual Steel Days quilt show. After tomorrow all these quilts will be donated to the NEO-NATAL unit at UVRMC and to PROJECT LINUS. Although not shown (as they were all hung,) the Challenge quilts for this year are wonderful and will be a special gift to the receiving agencies.
Much thanks is due to Peggy N. for her chairmanship of our annual show, and appreciation to all who contributed as exhibitors, helping with the setup, hostess duties, and the take down. It has been very popular with the public this year. Sales of our tickets on the beautiful fund-raising quilt which was set by Christina and quilted by Wren have been brisk, and should be great sucess this year.
We finished 11 rag-edge flannel quilts which were all on display. July 29th will be our next community service day, and we will be working on some new projects. Be there at 10 AM for a drawing from the "Goodie Box."
July 22 is the 80th birthday of member Nancy D. Congratulations to you, Nancy! She recently commented that a year ago she did not believe she could ever make a nice quilt by herself. Her two beautiful exhibits at the quilt show showcase her talents. Great work, Nancy!
In August we'll have another applique' and piecing technique day, and we'll also be taking a trip to the Springville Art Museum show. We'll see you all soon!
