Door Prizes were won by Shannon and Ina.

Ina showed the Relay for Life Quilt and did the drawing for the raffle. Dottie won. This quilt was pieced and quilted in honor of those who have lost someone to cancer.

August 9th Watana will do a demo on Chenille quilting and will hold a class on August 23rd. 

Nancy Losure did a demo on the Quilt Hugs that she has made for Chemo patients. These are made from fabric and fleece. You quilt as you go in strips. They have pockets on the inside and velcro on the front to close them. Guild purchased 5 patterns. 2 yards of fleece can make 2 of these quilt hugs. The patterns are on aisle runner material that can be found in rolls at Michaels. So copies of the pattern can be made if you want to.
