2011 A Gathering Under the Oaks

WOW!! Triple, quadruple wow!! Our biannual quilt show for 2011, "A Gathering Under the Oaks," is now a memory! Now we need to take a moment to pat ourselves on the back. The amount of effort Guild members gave to make the show a success was amazing.

We were a little concerned when appraiser Anne Copeland told us she would not be able to join us, but Violet Vaughnes instantly wiped away any need for concern with her vast knowledge and genuine warmth.

Many vendors commented on how much they appreciated the Guild's support. Our guests praised the layout, the quality of the quilts, our Yurt Quilt Challenge, and the friendliness of our members. And, the VC Star treated us to two feature stories! You can see them at "CONEJO VALLEY QUILTERS TO HOLD SHOW" and "SHOW HELPS QUILTERS GET THEIR 'STASH'."

Our fundraising efforts were a great success. Final figures will be passed along to the members at the next general meeting, but here’s a teaser: We sold more wristbands than we did for the 2009 show!
