Back by popular demand, husband and wife team, Cathy Miller and John Bunge will present a program of songs and stories about quilts and quilting to accompany a trunk show of Cathy's quilts. Since their last show, they have created new song and new quilts. We will also have our election of new officers.

Challenge Quilt 2010
Our Challenge Quilt for 2010 will be announced next Fall. This year we are focusing on finishing UFO's (unfinished objects). I was looking at my box of unfinished treasures and realized that with each one there is some reason that I have not worked on it for a while. By far the most common reason for me is that it had lost its excitement for me and I would rather start something new! I thought that if I were to take one of these quilts and adopt the following requirements, it would be more fun to finish.
- Create things in your quilt that start with the first letter of your name. Include at least 5 of them.
- Your initials must appear somewhere in your quilt.
- A heart must appear somewhere in your quilt.
These requirements may be met with applique, piecing or incorporated into the quilting. Have fun!
