Call for quilters to spotlight Texas wines - quilt BLOCK submissions are due by June 5, 2008. See details at the Texas Department of Agriculture site. A $12 donation for each participant's packet is requested to defray the cost of the material packets, postage, and the statewide travel and display of the quilt. The packets contain the natural fiber fabrics to be used in the design along with tips and techniques for developing the block (10-1/2" square, unfinished, trimmed for finishing, but NOT quilted) and more information about the contest these. Call (877) 99GO-TEX or see rules and download a participant form by visiting TDA's Tips and More page at <www.gotexan.org>. Note: we'll probably see this quilt at the Bryan Texas Reds Festival on June 20.
The "Links" page includes links to all of our advertisers, the Lone Star Quiltworks Summer Class Schedule, and links for searching out Texas quilt shops and shows.
Below, even though the BBQG's bi-annual Quilt Show was last fall, memories of the truck welcoming visitors continue to bring us joy. (Photo submitted by Kerry D.)
