The guest speaker, Valerie White, will be teaching us about inspirations for contemporary quilting.
Besides the guest speaker, each of the 11 guilds participating will be participating in the event in one way or another. Our guild will be hosting a Viewer's Choice Judging, Think Green Quilt Challenge. A quilt challenge is a sort of show, where you set the rules for the show. Since this is our first try at a quilt challenge, for QDO, we wanted to make it pretty easy for all to enter, so our rules are as follows: green has to be somewhere on the quilt, and the quilt size does not exceed 200 inches perimeter. Beyond that the standard quilt show rules apply-3 layers; 4 inch sleeve for hanging; etc. We will have ribbons and cash prizes for the quilt show winners. There will also be a drawing from among the names of the viewer's choice judges for a tote bag full of fabric.
This should be a fun day for all that attend. Here's the general information:
