And the Winners Are…

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.

Independence Hall Quilters2 Comments

The Quilters had their last meeting in the Hall today. Until August 21st, that is. The Hall will be consumed with Flea Market Preparations beginning tomorrow and every Tues & Thurs until Flea Market weekend arrives (August 5th and 6th).

This is our community center’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Proceeds help get repairs and upgrades done to the building, not to mention keeping us in heat and WiFi. Many hands make for light work, and lighter work means more fun doing it. Not only do the Hall’s Board Members set up and sell, but a lot of the volunteers are quilters who enjoy the use of the Hall for their meetings, classes, and sewing projects.

As much fun as the workers have, the shoppers have even more. Discovering special treasures at bargain prices, chatting with neighbors and friends you see shopping. Enjoying the vendor cuisine available (that you have been smelling way before lunchtime) is definitely a perk.

I urge you to not take my word for it – come and see for yourself.
Tuesdays & Thursdays, we need volunteers. August 5th and 6th, we need shoppers, treasure hunters, and the curious.

See ya there!
