The Sonora Quilt Guild has put “drive-by” and “quilt show” into the same sentence. This Saturday, Sept. 12, pack up your kids, friends, snacks, drinks and take the quilt road trip around Sonora.
Your invitation:
Drive-by Quilt Show This Weekend!

Folding Your Quilt for Check-In
One of the most time-consuming things about check-in is unfolding and refolding the quilts. The Check-In process would go a lot more smoothly if quilts were brought to us folded to show:
- the label
- the sleeve
The video is short and sweet, and you will be ready for check-in.
Gearing Up …
For the big show -> October 11-13!
Don’t be surprised if a quilter asks you to support a scholarship program by buying a raffle ticket. The quilt we are raffling off this year is designed by Lynn Wilder and worked on by Guild members, under Lynn’s expert tutelage of course!
Our energetic member, Dana, has been selling tickets for the quilt, and the American Girl Doll. We also raffle off the Doll, including a wardrobe of Haute Couture fashions. No Kidding!

P.S. Last day to submit an application is Monday, September 9th
Another Quilt Faire Survived
Whew!
Today is Day 3 of the aftermath and I am still tired! Talking with other members this week I found that I am not alone in my slow recovery. The show takes a lot of effort and teamwork is the key. When the team is short-handed it means more work for who’s left. The 49ers are experiencing the same thing this season…
A few random photos, of setup, the quilt room, and taking down of show items. Sort of a “Teaser” for next year’s fun.
Stay Tuned Next Week for the Viewer’s Choice Awards!
It’s Back to Work, Ladies!
Monday (9/7) we met to catch up with our fellow members, turn in our applications for Quilt Fair (QF), admire our members summer projects and sign up for jobs to be done during QF week.*
A lot of comfort quilts were accomplished over the summer – I will be adding them to our little “slide show” later this week. Yours Truly is up to her eye-balls with more QF applications to enter, so I’m not making any promises 😉
* At a later date I may be posting in the “Members” menu, QF specifics (jobs still open to fill, the listing of QF Chairpersons – basically whatever our QF Chair would like to post there!)
Stay tuned…
♥ TTFN ♥
