Birthdays & Raffle Winners

We've celebrated lots of summertime birthdays...

And the celebrations didn't stop because we've had lots of raffle prizes to be won...

Raffle Quilt

We're making a raffle quilt with a Christmas theme!  The quilt will be raffled off on November 9th at the Craft Show sponsored by GTPQG right here at the St. Robert Community Center!

Here's a sneak peak of some of the blocks that will be included in the quilt:

September Workshop

The ladies of the guide got together for a Military Strippers day in Sept. We did a lot of stripping (2 1/2" strips), chatting, and eating.

It may say by Heather but it is me --- Bonnie. My first blog!

Mystery Quilt Progress

Well we began the month of May with this new clue block...

And by the month of June we had tops put together...

And by July we were beginning to see some real results of beautifully pieced and quilted quilts...

This mystery was revealed as Bonnie Hunter's "Christmas Lights" quilt pattern!

Color Challenges

 Lots of ladies are coming through to participate in the color challenge each month!  The colors for May, June and July were blue, yellow and teal/turquoise/aqua!
