Quilter

June “Around the Block” Newsletter

A dozen or so kits created for easy to quilt quilts.

Many thanks to Polina V. for pulling lovely prints together from our donation stash!
And to Karen S. for donating and cutting fun backing fabrics!

We have cut backings and battings to size 43″ x 63″ and provided sets of prints for tops.
Included will be some design suggestions to choose from for quilt-as-you-go style construction as well as traditional top construction.

Please let Ann Gaber know if you would like one of these kits before the next QU meeting.

Quilters Unlimited has two annual member awards, one for Distinguished Quilter and one for Volunteer of the Year.

Requests for nominations begin two months before the deadline and will be posted in the newsletter.

Congratulations to Wendy Adams, winner of the 2025 Volunteer of the Year award.
Wendy has been a major contributor in guild philanthropy efforts, donating huge quantities of fabrics and kits for charitable quilts. She made last year’s opportunity quilt, does long-arm quilting for guild members, hosts classes, supports the Tallahassee Museum as well as Sleep in Heavenly Peace, assists with our guild shows and served as door prize chair this past year.

All of this, as well as her encouragement, kindness and enthusiasm, has earned her the gratitude and appreciation of the guild.

A much-deserved award!
