And the Winners Are…

November 1, 2023 Independence Hall Quilters

In case you missed Monday’s meeting, the awards are different this year. No more 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons. This year, IHQ started a new system where the number of top awards is based on the number of entries in each category. For example, the Dolls had four entries, so that category was awarded one ribbon. The Wall and Bed Quilts had many entries, so 19 ribbons were awarded among those categories. The voting was especially difficult – so many beautiful and clever pieces of art. Thank you to our dedicated ‘Viewers’.

Congratulations to the winners!

Reminders…

Tomorrow (October 18), is the day to turn in all Quilt Faire entries.

We ask that you bring your entries to the Mark Twain building between 9:00a.m. and Noon.

For quilt and wall hanging entries, please hand us the entry folded so that the sleeve AND your label can be seen. See the example in the video.

It’s a silly homemade video, but it’s short and to the point.
Includes a cameo of Jodi’s dog.

All Quiet in the Hall

May 25, 2023 Independence Hall Quilters

With a bunch of the guild at Quilt Camp and not at Monday’s meeting, the Hall was so quiet. Without many conversations going on at once, it was a peaceful feeling. One meeting per year is like that.

We are looking forward to the following Monday and hearing from all the campers relating their stories and exhibiting their accomplishments. I had hoped for communications from Lake Tahoe this past week, but nothing came.

Yesterday I was emailed one photo, which gave me a clue why the camp was incommunicado.

Every woman in this photo is not only smiling but has a huge smile on their face. Every single one of them.

Now I’ve taken a ton of group photos for the projects I worked with in National Security over the years. A few smiled big, but most were not even paying attention. This photo would have gotten all of us called into HR for drug testing.

Congratulations, Dana & Linda, for another successful camping trip!
