Until recently, I had maintained Charity info on a separate page, It is now moved to this blog and kept up by the Charity Chair (currently Joanne Krepps). If you want to see info from those earlier postings – click the link below.

We still need a place to let you know what’s new on the website – so we’ve created this blog.

2015 CHARITY CHALLENGE RULES The member donating the prize money totaling $500.00 wishes to remain anonymous. This challenge is not costing the guild any money. We are using charity material, but would be making quilts from it anyway, just giving you an incentive. Drawing will be held at the December 10th 2015 guild meeting. You do not have to be present to win. There will be no exceptions ALL items must be turned in before or at this meeting. All materials will be supplied, you only have to use your thread, machine, and time. Of course you can always use your own materials. The kits must be made using the quilt instructions given. You may tweak any pattern by changing materials or rearranging the material, but the overall design must be the same. (ie. You can’t take a kit and just sew into squares or strips) If you use your own materials for a quilt, the quilt should be approximately 40 X 40. There is no strict size requirement this time, we just don’t want a lot of 36 X 36 or less quilts. You will be given a ticket to place into the appropriate box. These boxes are what we will draw from. Here is what you need to do to get ONE ticket.
$200.00 1 Quilt completed from start to end, including binding.
$l50.00 you may do any of the following: 3 quilt tops pieced 3 quilt binding ` 3 quilts quilted
$75.00 2 yo yo dolls (only the yo-yo’s)
$50.00 5 completed pillow cases
$25.00 10 Cancer pillows
Anyone know where the charity auction is being held this year?
we could have various blogs going on here. Heads of committees could have permissions, and people could leave comments. On individual pages – depending on what we would want, you can allow comments – or not. So if you’re presenting a set page, then maybe you would allow no comments. But if you’re presenting Workshops – maybe you would want comments coming in on that subject.
This is our new AHQG website and blog. So come on in and join us online. This week’s meeting was tons of fun – stuffing arm rests for cancer patients and finishing charity quilts. Great desserts were provided by our Birthday folk ……(names) and general visiting and gabbing was the order of business. Hope you enjoy and find time to add your own comments and insights.
