Fabric to make the 12" blocks for "Quilter's for the Cure" an event held at Quilt Fest are now available. Purchase the fat quarter for $5, make the block (directions included), then turn in the finished block at Quilt Fest. These blocks are then made into quilts and other items and will be autcioned off the following year. This year, each person attending Quilt Fest will receive one ticket to vote on their favorite block. That will be the way the voting is done from now on. Then you can spend money purchasing tickets on the items up for auction.

FYI - Utah Quilt Fest 2013 will be held at the Zermatt in Midway October 9-12. Mark your calendars now!

Utah Quilt Guild members can place free ad's in the Beeline. You can also have pictures or information published on the Utah Quilt Guild's webiste. Send pictures and information to Laurie at www.UQGwebsite@gmail.com.

If you would like to recognize a quilter in our area for outstanding service or quilting abilities, let a State Board member know and their name will be submitted to the Utah State Board for consideration for a special award. You will need to submit a page or two about the person you are nominating. This award is different than the Silver Thimble given out during Quilt Fest.

FYI - The Main Street Quilt Cottage in Hurricane is moving to 130 S. Main Street

Happy Chemo charity quilts are still being accepted!

Welcome!

The Southridge Quilters blog is now up and running. We will be posting information from our guild meetings as well as our show in tell pictures and other fabulous fun things we run across. I'm looking for a calendar to add to the blog to post up coming events. If anyone has any suggestions we are open to those as well. For now there isn't much to check out. Come back often to see what we have going on!
