Our guild is 29 years old and over 200 strong. We put on one show per year, it is open to non guild members for a fee of $5 per quilt. Members do not pay a fee to enter quilts. This year we had close to 500 quilts entered. Between the admission fee, raffle quilt, quilters boutique, and silent auction. we covered all cost for the show, and made enough to cover all our expenses for next year, this includes buying batting and backing for charity quilts, renting our meeting hall, educational events, and other small expenses. Everyone helps from the teenage girls who come in to help set up and take down, to our 80 plus year old members who do silent demo's during the show. Our show is always the first weekend in October, our meetings are the last Wed of each month. At the Oct. meeting we get committee reports and start making plans for next years show. We work on our show all year long. It is a lot of work but we all have a good time. Every member is encouraged to enter at least one quilt.
