Our holiday extravaganza included a presentation by a few of our original Guild members and a celebration of all things Red, White and Blue . . . with ice cream sundaes, to boot.

...wow ... what a wonderful outpouring of quilts
Just when you thought you'd seen them all...
Once again, the abundance of quilts shown in groups made it very hard -- okay, impossible -- to fully attribute correct captions. We'll work on that, but for now, in addition to those we could identify, many thanks for sharing go to all of the members of Sunset Pointe and Lake Miona who shared their quilts in a group and the subsequent individuals: Mary Ann Pankowski, Mulberry; Jeannine Haller, B's; Lorene Grieker, Chatham; Donna Starr, Piecemakers; Ann Vogel, Piecemakers; Susan Huber, Mulberry; Gail Richards, Mulberry; Suzanne Kuebler and Carol Conover ...
We'll be happy to revise or add the appropriate caption. Please refer to the caption or number when you send information to: Webmaster@QGOTV.org
A special thanks goes out to those who shared a slice of Guild history: the first ten years, 1993-2003. Seated (L-R): Anne Tutoli, Ida Hoover, Jan Watkins and Rita Pickard; standing, Pres. Jeanette Flint (moderator).
And this is where we lost the order of things

Thanks again to Micki MacCumbee and the members of the Program Committee, for giving us all such a wonderful evening ... a look back at our own history, ice cream and patriotic quilts ... a great night and one to remember!
