Show and Tell themes
Posted in Show And Tell on September 24th, 2010Show and Tell Themes
Show and Tell is my favorite part of our Guild meetings—I love seeing all the projects you all have completed. This year I would like to add a “theme” to our Show and Tell that complements our speaker’s topic. Along, of course, with your regular items you’re showing.
For example, our October speaker is Clare O’Donohue, former TV producer of Alex Anderson’s Simply Quilts and author of several quilt-themed murder mysteries. Some suggestions for Show and Tell would be any of your mystery quilts, an Alex Anderson design, quilts with blocks from Clare’s book titles (Drunkards Path, Lover’s Knot, Double Cross.) To encourage you, we will let those with theme quilts go first in Show and Tell, along with your other items, of course.
Some suggestions for the rest of the year
November: Edie McGinnis, noted Kansas City Star columnist and author presents “Feedsacks: Out of the Barnyard and into the Bedroom”. We’d like to see any feedsack quilts, a design from one of Edie’s books, or a Kansas City Star pattern. (Hint: All of last year’s Blocks of the Month were adaptations of Kansas City Star Patterns.)
December: Christmas quilts
January: Program is Best of Show winners from around the area. Bring your own winning quilts.
February: Program is applique artist Angela Lawrence. Let’s see all your applique quilts. President Louise’s “Color your Name” challenge is also due
March: Quilt artist Sue Kluber will teach us embellishing. Bring your embellished quilts.
April: Annmarie Yohnk will talk about redwork. Let’s see the redwork you have done. Heck, let’s see all your red quilts.
May: Board Challenge month.
June: Tula Pink tells us about the life of a fabric designer. Bring your pink quilts. Or anything from her line of Moda fabrics.
July is QuiltFest. We’ll see all our winners.
August: Lynn Doyle shows her seasonal appliques. Bring your own seasonal (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc.) applique projects or a project from one of her patterns.
