MiniQuilt Raffle @ Shop Hop and Sewcial for Pulse Update

The LIMGQ  booth at the Long Island Shop Hop at Pieceful Quilting was a success.  We were able to introduce our Modern Quilt Guild to the Shop Hoppers, some of which did not know what a modern quilt guild was.
We distributed our newly designed brochure to the Shop Hoppers to help explain a "modern" quilt guild.  We listed the benefits of joining the guild as well as all of our contact information. We hope that the brochure will generate awareness of our guild and to encourage new memberships!


LIMGQ member Lorraine Lucas' daughter, Lauren, was instrumental in creating and designing the colorful brochure.  She also designed our fantastic new guild Logo.  Check it out on the top of this blog!  Thank you so much Lauren!


We would like to thank everyone who bought mini-quilt raffle tickets.

Congratulations to our winners:

Quilt # 1- Joyce S.

Quilt # 2 Mary O.

Quilt # 3 Lorraine L.

Quilt # 4 Kim S.

Quilt # 5 Carol K.

Quilt # 6 Gracie

Quilt # 7 Stella A.

Sew In:  Quilts for Pulse Update

 Kim was able to gather up all the extra quilt blocks (about 20!) that we made at the Sew In in July and send them off to Orlando MQG along with a pieced top.
We have two finished quilts that will be sent along shortly. Pictures to follow!

Reminder:

Our next LIMGQ meeting is schedule for September 21 @ Art League of Long  in Dix Hills, NY. Meeting is from 7:30-9:30 pm.

See you there!
