Hexie night - 10/4/19

Friday, 10/4/19  -
  • LeftRight Game -  feel free to bring either a "stone" or a "flower"
    • October's stone is the Opal or Tourmaline
    • October's flower is a Calendula or Cosmos
  • 2019 Spring UFO challenge  - anyone working on a UFO this spring?
  • How many Underground Railroad blocks have you completed so far? Little birds are murmuring that the finished quilts would make a great group exhibit in 2021!
  • I know it's early but it's time to plan the Christmas Party, in so much as we need to decide if we are exchanging mugrugs or something else so that we have time to make them :)

=====================================
9/2019 ACWC Quilt show

I hope we can all agree that our Opening Reception was a resounding success - I still have people telling me what a good time they had!!

The show teardown will be Saturday, 10/5/19, starting at 10am. Any quilts not taken home after the teardown will be taken to TQD.

Up next? We need to pick a theme for the next show in 2021!

ACWC Exhibit

Just 14 days (!!!!!!!) until our exhibit is hung at the ACWC on Wednesday, 9/4/19, starting at 4:30.
Arts Council for Wyoming County is at 31 South Main Street, Perry. 
Our exhibit is in the upstairs gallery.

So far I have 9 entry forms from Agnes, Ann, Barb, Carol, Cheryl, Kelly, Lisa, Sarah, Sue. Do we have any other entries?? If so, please contact Sarah ASAP to get her the needed data.

Our opening reception is Friday, 9/6/19 from 6:30 until 8:30 - Jackie advertised these times so we'll need to run with them. I still think it's a good idea to get to the ACWC at 6 so that we can set up the food and greet our guests.

So far I have the following food items. Please let me know what you can bring if it's not already listed.
Fruit - Agnes, Sue Toal
Veg - Sue Ferris, Luanne
Cheese/crackers - Ann, Johanna
Cookies/brownies - Sue Chiddy, Carol, Cheryyl
Other - Larae (danish), Lisa (hot dip/chips), Barb (zuke bread)
ACWC is still donating the drinks.

Please advertise to as many of your friends as possible - both for the reception and for the exhibition as a whole. 

Have I forgotten anything??!!
