Joyce Gronenthal is looking for quilts to hang in the Twin Falls Library Quilt Display. Each quilt is displayed for six weeks and they need to have your name on the back along with a little history about the quilt which hangs along side of your quilt in the display. Here is the current quilt hanging at the library-

The September Desert Sage Guild Meeting featured their business members as a program this month. Six of the business members presented a little bio about what they do and how they got started. Featured were Barb's Blooms-Barb Bratt, Forget Me Not Quilting-Laurel Dillman, Karen's Place-Karen McClure, Steel Needle Stitchery-Deana Steel, Starlight Quilt Studio- Evelyna Manier and Kim Radabaugh. Salli Hubbs from Backporch Fabrics was unable to attend because she had a booth at the Boise Basin Quilters show in Boise, Idaho. She will present her business in October. It was a great evening to learn why we do what we do.

"Barn Quilt Trail"
Guidelines
The A-Team Applique' Group is sponsoring a special exhibit for the April 2017
"Desert Sage Quilters" ~ Quilt Show.
The exhibit will be called
"The Barn Quilt Trail"
Here are the details:
Definitions:
A Barn Quilt: A single quilt block (not a whole quilt) that is incorporated somewhere within your project.
The Project: Your complete wall hanging (about 18" x 22") that, somewhere within it, contains a barn quilt.
The Barn Quilt Trail: A continuous linear display of all the projects (wall hanging) that are entered for this exhibit. Collectively all entries make up the "Trail"
Size:
18"x22" (about the size of a fat quarter)
Theme:
While the exhibit is called "The Barn Quilt Trail" the barn quilt does not need to be on a barn. While you may place it on a barn you may also place it on a building, fence or post for example. There is no requirement to have a barn on your project unless that is what you chose to do.
Fabric:
"Red fabric" must appear in the barn quilt block. All projects have this "red fabric" in common. The "red fabric" may appear in other areas of the project as well. The required "red fabric" is available for the Applique Group.
Binding:
Outer edge must be finished. May use binding method of your choice. While projects will be displayed side by side there will be no continuous elements as in past projects (as in the river quilts or garden path quilts) A hanging sleeve is optional.
Due Date:
March 2017
