RFQG Opportunity Quilt - "Tropical Symphony"

The quilt pictured at right is the guild's 2009 Opportunity Quilt made by RFQG members using Barbara Siedlecki's pattern "Springtime Symphony." The quilt contains 12 hand-appliqued wreaths in vibrant colors with black/gold batik sashing and borders. It was custom quilted by Kelly Wise at The Sew and Quilt Shop in Bunnell (click on photo to view larger image).

The quilt was on display at QuiltFest Jacksonville in September and at the World Quilt Show (Florida Division) in West Palm Beach in November. The quilt will be raffled, and tickets are available for $1 each. For tickets, contact any RFQG member.

A Little Inspiration

Join us at our next meeting!

At the January 18 meeting join us for "An Evening With Monique." Guild member Monique Foley will share with us her quilting techniques as well as her interesting background. Most of Monique's quilts are not only hand-quilted but hand pieced as well, and she has a lot of information and inspiration to share.

Also at the January meeting Jean Roth will demonstrate some items that members can make for the boutique for the guild's upcoming quilt show ("Quilts, Tea, and Creativity") taking place in March.
