2008 Quilt Show & Marketplace
Saturday and Sunday, November 22-23, 2008
at the Holiday Inn Executive Center
Creating History One Stitch at a Time
We had an extremely productive committee meeting in October. As
you can see, we agreed on a theme—“Creating History
One Stitch at a Time.” We especially wanted something that
we can attach to our 30 year anniversary as a guild. And we are
so pleased to let you know that the wonderful artist who designed
our logo for the 2006 show has agreed to do one for the 2008 show!
Also, we have a new name for our boutique—the boutique is
now known as “The Quilt Market.”
I love our guild’s statement of purpose, so we ran the quilt
show through that filter and agreed that it very definitely addresses
every aspect of our statement (Article I, Section 3 of the By-laws)—
The purpose of the Guild shall be to promote fellowship among persons
interested in all aspects of quilt making: to preserve our quilt
making heritage and traditions; to promote an appreciation of fine
design and workmanship; to encourage quilt making and collecting;
to participate in quilt-related projects that are of service to
the community; and to contribute to the knowledge of quilt making
techniques, textiles, patterns and quilt makers through education.
This is who we say we are, BTQG members, and we are obligated to
always assure that what we do echoes this statement. The quilt show
is the culmination and a display of who we are and all we do, it
is a major fundraiser for our guild, and it is a major opportunity
to educate our community about the value of quilts and quilters.
Thus, every member of the guild is expected to participate in the
quilt show in some way. We still need someone to participate on
the committee and coordinate the challenge….all members are
expected to make item/s for The Quilt Market (contact Carrol Lewis)……determine
early what job during the show you will volunteer to do…...decide
what quilts/quilted items you will be displaying—get those
unfinished tops/pieces out and fall in love with them again and
finish them up.
There are many, many of you who worked so diligently on previous
quilt show committees—thank you so much for all you have done
for us in the past. We are trying very hard to continue the precedence
for excellence that you established in those previous shows…and
we are trying very hard to make sure we pass that standard along
to the next quilt show committee.
I and other members of the committee will be visiting with you
and making announcements throughout the next year, raffle items,
classes/workshops through the year, etc. So get excited and get
ready to lend your time and talents and show off our wonderful guild.
