PIQF Volunteers Needed!!

by Amanda

 Hello Everyone!

PIQF (Pacific International Quilt Festival) is coming up quickly - October 15-18th at the Santa Clara County Convention Center.  It runs from 9-6 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and from 9-3 on Sunday. 

As you all hopefully know, we are displaying our Opportunity Quilt at PIQF and are trying to raise money for the guild by selling tickets, so we need people to (wo)man the opportunity quilt booth.  Also, we are doing some white gloving for PIQF itself, so we need volunteers for that portion as well.  Every slot is a 2 hour shift, and the more you volunteer, the more chance you get of winning a fabulous PRIZE (or collection of prizes) from the BAMQG!

We still need volunteers at the following times and in the following roles (especially Thursday and Sunday!):

White Gloving:

Sunday, 10/18, shifts from 9-11, 11-1, 1-3

Opportunity Quilt Booth:

Thursday 10/15:  2-4pm, 4-6pm

Friday 10/16:  2-4pm

Saturday 10/17: 10am-noon, 2-4pm

Sunday 10/18:  9-11am

If you can volunteer for any of these shifts, please email Amanda or leave a comment here. Members can sign up on the ning forum.

Thanks so much - every shift helps! And every shift gives you a better chance at winning some great prizes!!

Opportunity Blocks

Hello Wonderful Members!

Many of you have taken home free fabric to make squares for the 2015 Opportunity Quilt, and we are so excited to see what you make!  This is just a friendly reminder that the squares are *due* at this month's October meeting, 10/18 from 1-5pm at the Downtown Redwood City Library.  So finish 'em up and bring 'em on in, and show those pretty ladies off at Show n' Tell!

If, for whatever reason, you can't finish the squares, please bring the fabric back to the meeting so those who are finishing up the quilt can use it for the quilt.  And if you have any questions or concerns, please email the lovely Ruth B. via a comment or the Ning Members network.

Thanks, fabulous members, for all you do!
