LAQ August Banquet- Group Quilts and Paint Chip Challenge

  Our Guild features
Group quilts worked on members from our guild.  In August, all eligible members of the guild and an extra ticket for those who worked on the quilt get tossed in a hat.  The only catch to winning is you must organize next year's quilt!!

What beautiful work!




Our banquet this summer was held in the Town of Medary shelter on a beautiful evening.  Everyone enjoyed the games and picnic potluck.

After Group quilts we had our guild challenge.  This year's challenge had record participation!!  The challenge was to make a quilt of any size and use paint chips to match the colors.  Three paint chips- one for each initial in your name- must have colors that matched fabric, and one hand sewn item (button, handwork, etc.) 
There was such great variety!!

There was such variety- small wall hangings, purses, bags, book covers, full sized quilts and more.  Our group was so creative!!

Amazed to see how well everyone matched the paint chips to fabric too.






Below you will see the announcements- the voting was extremely close!
