Charm Square Exchange
For
EVENING STAR QUILT GUILD our rules are:
·
Sign up on guild night to participate in the exchange. The
number of participants will be announced in the newsletter, in Facebook group
and on this blog. Please do not sign up unless you plan to comply.
·
Three charms cut to 6-1/2 inches squares for each
participant. The charms should all be different in your collection. The fabric must quilt shop quality, if there
is any question of the quality of the fabric please do not donate the fabric.
·
A theme for the fabrics will be announced in the
newsletter and on this blog in advance (SEE BELOW.)
·
Label your fabrics with your name, in some way to indicate
you have turned in your charms. This will make it easier for the
coordinator to sort thru them for pick up. I put my charms into a
plastic baggy and write my name on it, but you can also just pin the charms
together with a paper label on the charms.
·
Pick up your charms at the end of the evening. Show off
the quilt you made from your haul in a future show and tell.

2018 BLOTTO

lottery. A pattern is posted by coordinator for the block month in
advance. The pattern will be posted in the newsletter, on this blog and

Those

have been made. There is a three chance limit ... but you can make more

There
is a SIGN UP SHEET at the Blotto table. When you drop off your blocks
fill a numbered line and there will be a drawing at the end session after the
speaker. ( If you win and you are not there we will get the blocks to you
some how.) Numbers drawn until we get a winner. We are using the
same numbers as for the door prizes.
