Program for April
April 16, 2026  1pm– Guild Members Vintage Quilts – Trunk Show and Panel Challenge Show and Tell
​Bring your vintage quilts and share how you acquired them and any background information you have gathered. Snowbirds don’t forget to bring your vintage quilts back with you in the fall!

​April 17, 2026 Sew Day - Cacti Gardens  9am - 2:30 pm

Come and learn how to make those adorable cacti gardens. Joan has volunteered to teach. It's not too early to think about making items to sell in the quilt show's boutique!
Regarding the Sew Day on April 17th.  Joan Fahning will be demonstrating how to make Cactus Planters for sale at our next Boutique during our 2027 Quilt Show.  
If you want to make your own cacti later, you should bring a piece of cardboard or template plastic to make your own templates.  I will have the picture to copy.
Materials needed to make Cacti:
  • 1/2 yd Bosal 493 fusible foam
  • at least 3 fat quarters of green fabric 
  • Floral wire 22 gauge covered
  • meat skewers or chop sticks for support
  • flower foam, rocks, dish or container
  • flowers, beads, contrasting thread for finishing cacti

Joan has some supplies to get us started with cacti for the sale.  Bring your own supplies if you intend to keep your cacti.

Side Note: Joanie came to Karen Rainford’s home and helped  her grandkids -Eddie (6) and Frankie (4) make cacti gardens in cups (picture). She is a fabulous teacher and one of the kindest quilters ever. Frankie made a round quilt for a mountain lion stuffie and Eddie made a sleeping bag for a 6-foot-long snake, using almost every decorative stitch on my machine.  They're never too young to get hooked on quilting.

Challenges
​2026 UFO Challenge is officially underway!  By popular demand, the UFO Challenge will once again take place for 2026. Janell Duncan is the new chairperson. 
WELCOME UFO’ers....so far we have 16 people who have signed up for the challenge. All you need is up to 12 unfinished projects and $5 to start. Each month a project number will be pulled. This is your incentive to get that project done by the next guild meeting. Before the meeting, show me the finished project and you will get signed off and given a ticket that will go into the pot for the end-of-the-year drawing. The more finished projects, the more tickets you have in for the drawing...you could be the winner of the 50/50 pot! The more people that sign up, the bigger the pot.
 This year you will be allowed to have 3 quilt tops (not quilted but donated) that will earn tickets for the drawing,

Congrats to Karen Mund...last year’s winner!
