SPECIAL 2019 QUILT SHOW EDITION
Wild�ower Quilt Guild Newsletter
LETTER FROM OUR DIRECTOR
Our 2019 “Star Light, Star Bright” Quilt Show is over and done
now. I hope everyone has had
time to rest, recoup and look back on our success. It took a lot
of hard work but it was also a lot
of fun! I am happy to share with you that our total Quilt Show
profit was $11,934, and just over
800 people attended our amazing show, with 211 quilts entered!
(Please see the chart below for
more details on Show Facts and Figures.)
Thank you to ALL who were involved in the show. Thank You to the
quilters who made and
shared your quilts with us. Thank You to all the Show Committee
chairpersons who took
care of their jobs and made each aspect of the show run so
smoothly. Thank You for
the tireless efforts of the Set Up, Hanging, Take Down and Take
In/Distribution committee
workers. That team included husbands, Scouts and dads, and
relatives of our members
who spent hours getting the poles and drapes up, quilts hanging
and then taking everything
down and returned to the owners.
Thank You to all who worked at the show - Quilt Angels,
Admissions, Raffle Ticket booth,
Guild booth, Boutique, Community Service and Vendors. Each of
you played an important
part! Thank You to our judges for their hard work Thursday in
looking at each of the quilts,
for their positive comments to help us become better quilters
and for their decision-
making skills in choosing the winners. Thank You to our
Wildflower Award sponsors! It was
wonderful to have our special Category this year “Donations”.
Thank you for our Anonymous
sponsor for that category.
As you see, there were a lot of people involved in making our
show happen and such a
success. Each of you deserves a pat on the back and a hearty
congratulations! Now we
-
look forward to our next show in two years and yes, that does
seem like a long time, but
you know how time has been flying by! I hope someone will soon
step forward to take the reigns
as Show Chairperson(s). Mary Ann and I have worked to leave
information for the upcoming
Show Chairpersons and their committees that will help guide you
for the next show. With the
help of all committees, the jobs are all doable and it helps
meld our group into a stronger, more
cohesive organization.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Quilt Show
Director/Co-Chairperson. I have
learned a lot through the process and I feel I have made
stronger friendships within our group.
Most Sincerely,
Stacy Clady

BEST OF SHOW - Texas Holiday Star by Victoria Rondeau
This quilt was made to be the 2020 Crossroads to Texas Quilt
Guild Raffle Quilt. I designed it
using Judy Niemeyer’s/Quiltworx “Quiltster” program, which
allows you to choose fabric, colors,
and patterns to make a picture perfect replica of a quilt that
you want to make.
These paper pieced quilt blocks were made by guild volunteers
Brenda Anderson, Maureen
Gallop, Connie Duffey, and Nancy Judd, who spent many hours
making the blocks perfect. I then
pieced the blocks together and added the mitered borders. I
spent approximately 150 hours
quilting this quilt, which enhanced the beauty of the
design.
You can talk to me at any WQG meeting for details on buying
raffle tickets for this special quilt.

VIEWER'S CHOICE AWARD - Blue Rabbit Quilt by Carol Ann
Wadley
-
Several years ago, my daughter had a job in Ft. Davis, Tx with
the Chihuahuan Desert Research
Institute. While visiting her, I fell in love with that part of
Texas. She asked that I make a quilt to
hang in her office and so I made the first Blue Rabbits. After
that first one, I made several more
to be auctioned off at the Institute’s yearly fund-raiser. My
daughter changed jobs and I hadn’t
thought about Blue Rabbits until my granddaughter asked that I
make one for her and so I did.
This is the one I entered in the Wildflower Guild Quilt
Show.
I have to tell a funny story – I loved designing and making the
first one so much, I entered it in
the Ft. Worth quilt show. That was at least 10 years go. In my
heart, I just knew I’d won all kinds
of prizes! Not only did it not win, but it was hung on the wall
just outside the Men’s Restroom.
And to make matters worse, the only comment the judge could
think of was, “Nice Binding.” It
took lots of tears and several years to laugh about it!
