Quilt Show Information

The quilt show is only 7 weeks away! You have until Sept 4th to register your quilts. Forms are available in the July newsletter, or you may use the super easy online form. Remember you can always show less than you register, but you may NOT show quilts that are not registered!

If you haven't signed up for classes with George Siciliano, now is the time to do so! Information on the classes can be found here. Bring a friend! Contact Elaine Ross: elainejr@rochester.rr.com to sign up.
Parking is limited at St Anthony's so we are working on a shuttle service to allow you to park at the Presbyterian church. If you can help with that, please contact Cathy Judkins.
If you are unfamiliar with the area, St Anthony's is at 114 Liberty St. Liberty Street turns off of Main St at the corner where the Pennysaver has moved. The Presbyterian church and the Key Bank are also located at this intersection. Follow Liberty across Ellicott. St Anthony's is the second building on the right. From the West, bear right off of Main St onto Ellicott ( Route 63). Turn right onto Liberty Street at the third light. St Anthony's is the second building on the right.
There are still openings for all shifts at the show, especially hostesses. Remember, working a shift means you get in to the show for free! Being a hostess allows you to spend a lot of time looking at the quilts, and the vendor stalls, plus you get to chat with fellow quilters from all around the area!
If you are going out shopping, contact Martha for some fliers or bookmarks to help promote the show!

Art quilters update

As you may know, a few of us have been getting together to explore contemporary quilting the last couple of years. We have finally decided to call ourselves the "Art C Girlz".

We are currently displaying a collection of our works at the GOArt! Satellite gallery at the Senior Center, 2 Bank Street, Batavia. The exhibit will be up until the end of August. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 am- 4 pm. Contact GOArt for more information at www.goart.org, or 585-343-9313.





The picture above is a piece we all worked on together called "Convolvulous", which is the name of the flower. Below is a sample of what else you can enjoy if you go to the gallery.

This past Saturday a group gathered at Tracy J's (thanks Tracy & Dan) business' cafeteria to participate in a Fabric Painting Workshop given by Barb Murak. Many painting techniques were covered and much time dedicated to play. Barb was a very gracious and knowledgeable teacher. I know all of us were inspired and motivated to make beautiful fabric!

All the pics are of Barb's painted fabrics and quilts made with her gorgeous creations.
