Village Quilt Guild 1988 – 2008
Purpose
The Village Quilt Guild is an organization whose purpose is to develop an appreciation for the art of quilting and its history.  To provide a common organization of persons who love quilts, and to educate the public on the history and artistry of quilt making.

One of the sought after prizes during the 40th HSV Anniversary Week was the "Hot Springs Village 40th Anniversary Quilt" made by members of the HSV Quilt Guild.  Bobbie Bateman (standing) presented the quilt to Dottie and Donald Branson.  Dottie was ecstatic when Bobbie called to tell her she won the drawing.  Dottie said, "I've never won anything ever"!

I was inspired by an Old Farmer's Almanac calendar.  The quilt is painted, thread painted, appliquéd and quilted by machine. Materials: Cottons, Jacquard fabric Paint, poly, rayon metallic threads.  I started this quilt in the Spring and finished it in early Summer.  Sometimes you select a subject or pattern and it takes forever to "make it work".  This quilt just fell together for me.  The International Quilt Association accepted it as a finalist for the Houston show in October.  I am hoping to enter it in other shows in the future.

2010 SILENT AUCTION NEWS
Greetings from the Harvest Festival Silent Auction Committee for 2010
Oct. 15, 2010

The Quilt Guild silent auction will be held at the Coronado Center on Friday, October 15, 2010 from 5:30 to 8:00 PM.  Tickets will again be only $5.  We had such a successful auction in 2008 and we are hoping to top it this year.  We have most of our committees chaired and even have a couple items donated.  Hopefully we can do a show and tell at the May meeting.  We are looking for items in a range of values.  An Item Donation Sheet is attached to this newsletter and will be on the website by the May meeting so you can print one any time.  Please don’t feel you can be too detailed in the description because too much information is better than too little.  We will also post on the web site a suggestion list for putting together a basket donation.
