Pick a Winner!

Have you ever wandered through our Quilt Show and wondered why a particular quilt didn’t get an award? Here’s your opportunity!

For just $10 and a title, you can “Sponsor a Ribbon,” and you get to pick the quilt to award it to! Do you want to choose a color scheme? A theme? A technique? A . . . whatever?

Just catch me at a meeting, along with your check or cash, or give me a call, and we’ll make a special ribbon with the title you choose. Then, on the Quilt Show setup day (Thursday afternoon or Friday morning early), you will choose the quilt that you think best deserves your ribbon.

So, please come and sign up on the Sponsored Ribbon board at the April meeting. We will be selling until the July meeting.

Any questions, give me a call or send me an email.

A Gentle Reminder: If you have an April birthday and are willing and able, please bring a sweet or savory snack to the guild meeting on the 10th. One to two dozen pieces is plenty, and it can be homemade or store-bought. Please contact Laurie Downing by text or email if you will be bringing something, so we know how to plan. Thank you!

Show N Tell: If you participated in our Community Quilts Work Day, bring your projects (at whatever stage) to show our members how we learned to build community quilts with bricks.

Stash Dance Silent Auction

  1. Collect your sewing/quilting items that you wish to sell.
  2. On OCQG website, go to “Records/Forms,” select “Fillable Forms,” then select “Auction Bid sheet form.” Print as many as you need.
  3. Complete the information on the form. You may place a “buy it now” price on the item/s, or a “minimum bid.”
  4. Bring your items to the April meeting. We will be using the show and share tables for the auction items, as well as other tables as needed.  Just look for a vacant table.
  5. Turn your bid sheet face down on the table with your items, so that no bids will be allowed until we START the bidding which will be after the general business meeting.
  6. Bring a writing implement with you, as you will need to place your bids. We will not be providing pens/pencils.
  7. BRING MONEY! YOU are responsible for the exchange of money and giving change to the buyers.
  8. Writing a check for purchases is an option, so you may wish to bring your checkbook.
  9. Have fun!!!!
