Library Windows

We will be decorating the windows the months of November, December and January.  In the past we have crammed the windows with our quilts. We have done a good job and it has looked nice but I'd like to do it a little different this year. We need signs identifying who we are, when we meet and what we do.

For November we will have the quilts that we have made for Project Linus in one window and the Fairy Quilts in the other. We will have a contest with the Fairy Quilts for Viewers Choice. We will mark the quilts with a number and have the public vote on which one they like the best. At the end of the month the votes will be tallied, a winner determined and a prize awarded.

We will change out the quilts in December. The Project Linus quilts will get donated and we will put our personal quilts in the windows. Let's try to have our Scrappy Trips Around The World Quilts finished enough to be displayed in one window. It's a project that a lot of us have done and even though it is the same pattern, they all look different. The other window can have a variety.

For January we could change the windows again. One window could show what we use to make our quilts, mats, rulers, rotary cutters, etc. We could have some fabric pieces cut and some blocks made.  We could make some signs explaining the process. The other window could have some more of our quilts.
