Speaking of the Fair.....did you know that Mt. Tam quilt guild provided some of the prizes for youth quilts at the fair?

We link to Northern California Quilt Council. Stay on top of events scheduled outside Mt. Tam Quilt guild by visiting the events link to NCQC here.

New Quilts of Northern California at PIQF sent us an application form (here), but the applications were due Aug 1. Acceptances will be sent by Sept. 1. The exhibit will be at PIQF, Santa Clara Convention Ctr., from Oct. 16-19.

Community Outreach chairs, Jayne and Martha, have prepared packets of coordinated fabrics for plenty of quilts! Members can pick up packet(s), at no cost, at meetings along with a simple pattern to make a quickie charity quilt in a short afternoon. We will collect finished quilts in November. Contact Jayne or Martha with questions.

Talk to us!

Our Program/Workshop chair asks that members complete the workshop survey form [you can find it here] and return it to her as soon as possible. It's time to calendar all those wonderful speakers!

Congratulations to member Gloria Casey, winner of the 2007 Opportunity Quilt. Gloria's winning ticket was drawn from over 2500 tickets at our February meeting.
