Project information for the UFO
Challenge and the Row Robin are on the Members Only page. Charity Quilts
In November of each year our
guild selects two Charity Quilt Focus Projects
If you are aware of a charity that would make a great guild focus
project, please complete the form available on our website. Hand the
forms in to Rosalie Ballwanz, activity chairperson.
Information will be summarized and in November 2012 a vote will be
taken to select two focus projects for the upcoming year. Projects
that have member interest, but which are not selected are perfect
candidates for a Special Interest Group project.
For the 2011-2012 year the approved projects are as
follows.
Produce a bunker of quilts for any active Oconomowoc Quilt Guild
member. A quilt will be presented to the active guild member to
recognize any significant upcoming and/or current life events.
The second approved is for the new upcoming opening of Nickels n'
Pennies House in Oconomowoc.
Projects will be presented to members on or about March 2012. As
always, participation in these focus projects is completely
optional, however your participation is encouraged.
