Raffle Ticket SalesSaturday at Stop and Shop was a big one for VSQ. We proudly displayed our beautiful quilt and sold raffle tickets. Despite the fact that we needed to move to the less-trafficked door (flying quilt over flowers) we made $158.32 !!!!!!!(One penny was found on the ground, but the other one, who knows) plus $5 for a small size DENIM BAG. Please consider doing this at your neighborhood grocery. The management was pleasant and quite helpful. We've got the systems and all the signs. All you need do is sit there, smile, be proud of our quilt, and collect money. A good life. Many thanks to Judy Simek, Liz Whigton, Paula Shamoian, Cathy Johnston, Anne Frascarelli, Bernice Ward, and Kendell Storm for representing us. Gratefully, Susan Wolman June LuncheonAs our final event for the 2009-2010 year, out June Luncheon was Great! Thanks to all who participated. Delicious and fun!

A new wrinkle on Grandma's old craft Quilting? That old hobby? Not anymore. A new generation of needle-wielding artists is stitching up a patchwork of complex beauty. from the Journal News Wednesday, February 3, 2010 Received from our website Hello. We are Patty Ozga and Carol Adams and we are Co-Chairs for the 2010 Ellis County Quilt Show, sponsored by the Creative Quilters Guild of Ellis County, Texas, USA. Here is the link to our website: www.elliscountyquilters.com. Our quilt show will be held July 16-17, 2010. The theme for our 2010 Quilt Show is “Stitches Around the World”. In support of this theme, would your guild be willing to send us an 8” square (unfinished size) piece of fabric with your guild name and location embroidered, appliquéd, or hand-written in the center of the square? We will take the squares we receive and sew them together to make a quilt top that will be prominently displayed at our quilt show. Any fabric, color and pattern are welcome. Our theme quilt will highlight all types of sewing groups from around the world. We would love to have a fabric square from your guild. If you choose to send the 8” square, could we please get it by February 20, 2010? We’re excited about what our Stitches Around the World Quilt will turn out to look like. We will send you a picture of our finished project when it is displayed at our quilt show. Feel free to touch base with us if you have any questions. Thank you so much and Happy Stitching!
