Mini Quilt Show and Auction

The San Antonio Modern Quilt Guild hosted its first annual Mini Quilt Show and Auction. Members were asked to make a 16" x 16" quilt to donate to the event. Read more about the guidelines here.

41 quilts were on display in the classroom at Sew Special Quilt Shop SA from May 1st to May 11th.

The bidding opened and we were off to a great start. We hosted the event invitation on Facebook and you can see more images and comments there.

Thank you to the membership who pulled together to create an incredibly fun event. 

Thanks to the shop for hosting us.

Thanks to the community who bid and supported us.

Congratulations to our top prize winners:

The winner of the Viewer's Choice Award was Kelli for her piece, Mr. Snail.

The quilt that raised the most funds was Sarah R's paper pieced triangles.

 

We cannot wait to do it again next year!

July Sew-n-Tell

I apologize in advance for the quality of the pictures.  If you missed the meeting, you missed some great sew-n-tell. If any of these pictures are of your quilt and you'd like to provide me a replacement photo, just PM me the photo and I'll replace it on the blog (so those who couldn't be there can see the eye candy they missed). Be proud of what you've created.  There is so much talent in this guild.  Share your masterpieces.

 

As you consider becoming a member of the board, please also consider becoming the publicity / communications person for the guild.  Especially if you have any photo experience.  The position is available in January, or sooner if you're interested.

 

SAMQG Ultimate Mini Quilt Swap REVEAL

In August one of the guild members announced a mini quilt swap.  This was a first for our guild, and even though there were only 16 participants, it was a HUGE success.  I'm pretty sure if we have another swap, people will be fighting to get in on it.  The results were amazing.  During the January meeting sewcial time, the swapping commenced.  Check out all the happy quilters and beautiful quilts.  This blog post was updated to include the last two swappers.  The swap is complete
