Quilters' Day Out was a BLAST!

Whew!  QDO is over.  It's a one day event that shows off the Guilds in the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society's District 6.  Most all were in attendance and showed some of their class projects and did demonstrations.

Our group showed our retreat class and a table topper class.

Loyce and Sheila won a door prize.

Shirley showed the basket lady how to make a basket-she is a master basket weaver herself.  That was a class we did as well.

We had 3 ladies participate in the Viewer's Choice Quilt Challenge, no one one, but, it inspires us to finish something with a deadline to complete.

Getting Ready for Quilters' Day Out!

I think our log cabin heart shaped block class went well.  I hope you all learned something from our sharing of tips at the beginning of the day.  I know I sure did!

Just a reminder, if you would like to continue working on your log cabin heart quilt, you are welcome to attend the Friday session of Northeast Quilting Friends.  We will meet in the lower level from 10:00 to 1:00.

Also, we've collected our money for the door prize basket to be given away at Quilters' Day Out and will fill it Tuesday.

Next Tuesday, March 8th, we will be having our QDO planning session.  This is where we will decide how we will decorate and  "woman the booth" off and on during the 10:00 to 4:00 day.  

This year you can shop all day, the vendors won't close down for the 3 speakers.  The speakers will be located immediately to to left, in the Julia Belle room, closed off from the main room-it can hold around 500 people.  

Besides the shopping, and looking at all the guild displays and demos, you can learn some new tips and techniques from the speakers and also vote on the quilt challenge-I believe our quilt group will have 3 entries.  In that room, you can see the organ donor quilt club and see the award winning Happy Heart quilts-Aliens from Planet Quilt.  

For your $3.00 and a donation (money or groceries) to Mom's Closet, you will get another jammed packed day of quilting fun!!

Happy Quilting!
