TAS Chapter Happenings

Here is a good idea.

Ortonville Appliquers Demonstrate Applique at Local Quilt Show Cheryl Holland, Chapter Leader of the Ortonville Appliquers Chapter in Ortonville, MI reports...Yesterday and the day before, one of the groups that I belong to put on a quilt show. For the two days in question, I set up a small table in the back corner of the hall, surrounded by applique quilts and worked on a piece in progress. Two other members of the Ortonville TAS joined me as schedules permitted We had about 250 visitors at our little makeshift booth. We had lot of interest, and two guilds that expressed interest in having us come out and do a presentation at their meeting. One guild may even have us as their sole presenter at their trunk show next spring!
I am really excited!

The Apple Blossom Appliquers of New Minas, Nova Scotia Stitch Through the Winter and Spring Ruth Peskett and the ladies in their chapter wanted to share a photo of a baby quilt they made during the Winter and Spring. Ruth writes: (tm)The Apple Blossom appliquers of New Minas, Nova Scotia, really enjoyed getting together to make this cheery baby quilt for the annual Victorian Order of Nurses Quilt Auction. It was such a success that another one is planned for next year(tm)s auction!(tm)

The Des Moines Area (Iowa) Applique Society membership created blocks, constructed a quilt top and donated it to the 2004 6th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Auction held by the Des Moines Area Quilters Guild. Total receipts for the evening auction was $16,000. Congratulations to all the talented members of this TAS Chapter

The Maryland Chapter "On Pins and Needles" shares this photo from their October meeting.

Anne writes, " Since we meet on the 4th Thursday of every month, there are no meetings in November and December because of the holidays. We therefore have a party in October. The picture shows the finished quilt from our raffle 2 years ago. Everybody who contributed Halloween-themed squares received as many chances as they entered squares. We then picked one member's name out of a basket and she got to take all the squares home. She had the squares put together a year ago, but the top still needed to be quilted. I'm very grateful to be the leader of such a fun group. Camaraderie is as important as exchanging tips, learning skills or sharing favorite books and magazines. Submitted by Anne Wilson

P.S. I'm the one on the left in the front row, with the dark long hair. Emily is the quilt owner, she's holding it and has a blue sweater on. Kim Engelke, who founded the chapter is the one behind the quilt, wearing glasses.
