Kaleidoscope: 2017 Opportunity Quilt 

Picture
This year's Opportunity is a Vibrant, Colorful work of art!  Thanks to all of you for your contributions of the quilt blocks!  It is sure to be a big hit.  Remember it takes every guild member to help make this quilt raffle a huge success, so sell those tickets! Volunteer to help at our booth sites. 

​The proceeds from this gorgeous quilt help us provide supplies for charity quilts, speakers, and other guild activities.
Drawing will be in November 2017 at our annual auction event.

November Craft Fair
At the last Guild meeting it was decided that next year instead of an Opportunity Quilt Raffle, we would participate in the Newnan Craft Fair held in November.  It is the hope of the Guild that everyone contributes homemade items to sell at the booth.  Items should be brought to each guild meeting so others can view the variety and we can get an idea of the types of items everyone is making.  The proceeds from this event will be used to fund speakers, materials, and Guild activities throughout the year. We hope you will all help to make this a successful event. This
