The block of the month concluded with a display of the Lori Holt sampler patterns they made--either a witch, a scarecrow, or a snowman.
I put a bag of scraps (8 yds by weight) and a stack of old Quilters' Newletters on the free table and they were taken. Hooray!

The Zion Woman's Club Bunco fall fundraiser was Friday evening. 57 people came and everyone had a good time. The treasurer's preliminary accounting is a profit of $1600!
My friend Colleen won the quilt I donated. When I drew her ticket she yelled, "Now I can die happy!" Not that she's planning to do that any time soon.

The Fine Art of Fiber is always the first weekend of November at the Chicago Botanic Garden. It's a collaborative effort of Illinois Quilters Inc. (IQI), the North Suburban Needlearts Guild, and the Weavers Guild of the North Shore.
I went on Saturday morning.
RATS! Google photos won't upload all the pictures I want to post. Maybe they'll be available later in the day.

In the studio: I'm making placemats. Come back on Wednesday to (hopefully) see the finished products.

ReplyDeleteYou had a lot of quilty events in one week. How wonderful that the winner of your quilt was thrilled and that you were able to hear her joy! I always hope the recipients of my quilts are that happy.
ReplyDeleteWhat pattern did you use for your quilt?

So much quilty goodness to see today!! How fun that your friend won that beautiful quilt that you made. I'm always happy too when something I put on the "giveaway" table at guild is taken home by someone else.
ReplyDeleteYou had a very quilt-filled week, Nann! I love those large Lori Holt designs - a local friend made the witch, and she is fabulous. Glad your Bunco night made so much money!
ReplyDeleteBunco, quilt guild, and sewing sounds like a perfect week to me! The quilt you donated is scrappy perfection. I really like it.
