SAT DEC 12 – Since we are meeting virtually I am proposing the following project for our usual holiday get together.
Make an ornament, any medium, and bring it to show at the 12 12 20 meeting. Anyone showing an ornament will receive one “ticket” in a drawing to be done that day.You will get one ticket for each ornament.At the end of the meeting a drawing will be held, there are two chances to win, the prizes are (2) gift cards to Joanns. ($25.00 each). After the meeting you will donate your ornament to a nursing home of your choice and in your area.Please email or call Mary with any questions.

Thank you

Mary

Participants will create a 20″ x 20: block to interpret the games played by children 50 or more years ago. (Examples: hopscotch, jacks, jump rope, tag, dodge ball, etc.)

The following rules will be observed:
1. The block must clearly illustrate at least one childhood game.
2. The block must measure exactly 20″ x 20″.
3. The block may be quilted, but does not have to be. Do not bind the block.
4. The block must contain BOTH a pieced portion and a sewn appliqué (by hand or machine) portion as a significant part of the overall design. Glued or iron-on appliqué is not permitted.
5. The block may contain 3-D items as part of the design. These items must be securely attached.
6. The block may contain juvenile fabric with children and/or games printed on it. It may be used in small amounts within the block but may not be used as the sole reference to the chosen game.

The block is due by the May meeting.

Everyone that did the Mystery Quilt (finished or just the top) please bring them to the June meeting.

Thanks, Sharon C (Sam)
