HOME
MADE DESSERTS BUFFET – Bring your most decadent, most beautiful, most
scrumptious HOME MADE dessert. No store
bought this time ladies. Trifles, layered desserts, bring on the delicacies!
Hanging Quilts—Please bring your LABELED quilts. They may have been made as a result of a guild
class, small quilts from Susan Cleveland class, small quilts from Julia’s silo
art quilt class, challenge quilts, friendship quilts, medallion quilts, Art
quilts of all sizes, fractured quilts—The upstairs of the Trotter has a balcony
railing that will need to be filled with quilts. We’d rather have an abundance
to choose from than not enough. If your
quilt does not have a hanging sleeve, we will use clothes pins or binder clips
to hang it, so bring what you have. If
you are planning to complete a 25 x 25 Celebration of 25 years of MQA, you
still have time.
Diane has
the PTQ quilt racks. MQA has some as
well.
Commercial
