Guild Meeting

The guild met for our regular meeting Monday night, June 17th at the Senior Adult Center

in Benton.  Sondra taught the 5:30 workshop and introduced four more blocks for the 1930's 

block of the month.

 

 

   

 Quite a few 12" blocks and hand made items were submitted for the

semi annual silent auction.   As you can imagine,  bidding was fierce. 

Sadly, I was unable to win any of my bids! 

 



Our special speaker was Shirley Miller who told us a little bit about herself and treated us to a trunk show of her quilts.  Her first quilt was a cat-themed design which she created without a pattern.  It was begun in 1987 and completed in 2001.  All of her quilts reflect her personality with additional elements and bright, happy colors. 

 

Can you see a cat hiding?
