Congratulations to our own Kathi Everett, winner of the Iron Quilter Challenge at the Genesee Valley Quilt  Club Quilt Show on Saturday June 4, 2011.   Twenty people found out the themes at 10 AM that morning and 3 1/2 hours later had constructed a quilt to be judged and auctioned off to the highest bidders.   Kathi's quilt, based on the theme "The Diet" was chosen grand winner.   For that, she was awarded a new Bernina sewing machine.   

Also, Mary Kozub of our guild was a 3rd place winner in the art quilt category with her quilt...."All State".
