The Challenge was a great success with 22 entries. That must be some kind of record. Thanks to all who participated. The entries were wonderful. There were no first, second, third, or fourth place winners in this challenge. The voters named the quilts that were their favorites in each category.

Here are the winners:

• Best of Show - How Much Is That Doggie In The Window - Donna Tracey
• Best Use of Color - There's A Hole In The Bucket... - Nancy Williams
• Best Technique - My Heart Remembers - LaNita Northway
• Most Original - I'm Falling In Love With Someone - Carolyn Campbell-Taylor

• Honorable Mention - Starlight Serenade - Becky Helvie
• Honorable Mention - The Green-Eyed Dragon - Anne Lee

We would like to present the winners with their prizes at the next Guild meeting and hope they can attend and bring their winning entries for display. Could you please call and let us know which meeting you will be attending so we can award your prize?

Thank you members for the great response to “The Glory of Spring”. We have hit the ground running and have already sold over $2000 in tickets. Remember, these are the funds that allow us to continue to bring our great speakers and workshops that we have enjoyed.

Many of you have picked up your initial supply of 24 tickets at the meetings, and I appreciate that very much. I will continue to be at both the morning and evening meetings so that you can get your tickets, pick up additional tickets to sell, or turn in funds and completed stubs. For those of you that do not claim your tickets at the meetings, they will be mailed to you, so by picking them up in person, it will save the guild postage.

Many of you have been asking for the quilt show brochures so that you have a picture to show your prospective buyers. We finally have them. They will be available along with additional tickets at all meetings.

We have applied to have our quilt at “The International Quilt Show” in Long Beach in July as an opportunity quilt. The quilts are picked by lottery, so keep your fingers crossed that we will be picked. This will be a great opportunity to sell tickets.

If any of you attend other guild meetings and get permission to take our quilt to sell tickets, let me know. I would be happy to go with you if I am available and if you prefer. We want to take advantage of every opportunity.

Remember, tickets are given to you in packs of 6. Cost is $1 per ticket, or $5 for the packet of 6. If you have any questions, please call me or e-mail me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Thank you soooo much for getting behind this project.
