Mini Quilt Silent Auction

Hexagon Project: 

Vonda Slinkard and Lynnore Meyer are making the Hexagon kits to put together as a project for the Auction at our Quilt Show in 2012.  Nancy Pleimann found a blog that has a page and information on making Hexagons.  She also list the site of a place that you can print your on Hexagons.  That is the size that will match the one in the small kit. The reason for the dot is to punch a hole in the center. I like the way she punches a hole in the center to put your pin.  If you do not have the 110 weight paper, contact Nancy Pleimann who will print a page for you and bring it to the March meeting.

Page to print hexagons:  Change the size to 0.78 and check the Add Dot box.  Use 110 paper (card stock) to print your hexagons.  This size will match the kit.
     or just download a page of hexagons already sized and ready

Every even year the River Heritage Quilt Guild has a Quilt Show. As part of that show, we have a silent auction of small quilts. 100% of the money goes to support breast cancer research and education.
  • Who makes quilts: You do, the members of the guild or anyone who wants to participate.
  • When needed: The next show will be in the fall of 2012. You can bring your mini quilt to any guild meeting. Linda Tansil has a box dedicated to the mini quilt show. If Linda is not at the meeting, give them to Joan Meyer and she'll get them to Linda.
  • Size Rule: Maximum perimeter 130 inches.  No minimum size. 
  • What it is not:  aprons, purses, ..., anything that is not a small quilt
  • Need ideas: Have you ever started a class and stopped with one block -- a lot of lovely minis were based on such orphans.

    Try out a new technique without being committed to finding house room for it

    Use a color you've never used before -- see what you come up with

    NO other items - no purses, no aprons, no crafts.  We are trying not to be competition for our vendors.

  • What if I cannot make one? Come to the next show and bid!! If you have questions, contact Linda Tansil email the webmaster.
