Wearable Quilt Art

It's never too early to start thinking about making something to show at the Quilter's Gathering November 4 - 7, 2010. New next year is an contest for wearable fashions (details not posted yet, but check their site for updates.) Their quilt contest theme for 2010 is: Plain & Fancy: From Amish Design to Modern Times and has a submission deadline of Sept 15.

Chemo Hats

The Squannicook Colonial Quilt Guild is spearheading a Chemo Hats drive in memory of Jeanne E. Glenfield (one of the founders of A Quilter's Gathering). If you would like to make hats to help in this project, the Squannicook Guild has gained permission from Helen Littrell to use her pattern for this project. If you would like to purchase your own copy, the cost is $5 at Helen's web site.

Each month, there will be a table where you can drop off completed caps and ask Sarah Glenfield (or whoever is at the table) for more information on this project.
