Rebel Quilt Raffle

As a fundraiser for the Corvallis Modern Quilt Guild, our wonderful member Caroline has kindly donated a Rebel Quilt for us to raffle off. The raffle for this beautiful quilt will run through September 15th at 6pm PST. Please refer to all details below!

DETAILS: Ticket prices are 1 ticket for $5 or 5 tickets for $20. To purchase tickets, please leave your paypal email address and the quantity of tickets you'd like to purchase. We will email you within 24 hours with your invoice and raffle ticket numbers. This quilt was handcrafted by our amazing guild member Caroline (Instagram: @trilliumdesign), using the Rebel Quilt pattern by Libs Elliott. Long arm quilting was done by Sarah at CrinkleLove. The quilt measures 72" x 72". The raffle will be open from Saturday, August 29th through Tuesday, September 15th at 6:00pm PST. Proceeds from the raffle will go towards our guild activities which include making quilts for the community and bringing in teachers for continuing education. Again, tickets are 1 for $5 and 5 for $20! You really don't want to miss out on this beautiful quilt! Whoever wins is incredibly lucky!

We'll be sewing outside at the Corvallis Farmers Market tomorrow (yes, with all the wind and rain we're expecting!) from 9 till 1. Find us in the tents at 1st & Jackson. We'll be giving away a V&Co collection of Aurifil thread (donated by Aurifil ) and a Fat Quarter Bundle of Garden Project by Tim and Beck for Moda (donated by Winter Creek Cloth). Stop by to say hi and find out more about our guild. And don't forget to stop by and check out our Quilt County display in the windows at 2nd & Monroe. Thanks to Casey, Dennis, Miriam & Jordan Collett of Oregon Coffee & Tea for letting us use their windows. Make sure to stop inside their shop and check it out while you're there!

August Meeting

Here's the plan for this month's meeting on Friday, August 14th: 

Happy Hour/Dinner @ Sky High Brewing & Pub

160 NW Jackson (behind Sibling Revelry) between 1st & 2nd Streets

As they don't take reservations, please reply to either the email that was mailed out today or to our Facebook post (but not both), so that I can give them a number when I arrive around 5:15.  

We'll head over to Riverfront Park across 1st Street at approximately 7:00 PM

Bring a quilt to sit on or share; your EPP, knitting, crocheting, hand quilting, or whatever you want; and something to swap.  This month's swap is "swapper's choice" (thanks for the reminder, Tanya!).  Bring whatever you'd like to swap with someone. Just make sure it's something you'd also like to receive :) Maybe you have some items you've made to have on hand as gifts - bags, napkins, etc.

Let me know if you have any questions, and don't forget to reply to the email or Facebook post to let me know if you'll be able to join us.  

July meeting - meetup with Eugene MQG

Meet Up Details

Where: Sweet Earth Vineyards, 24843 Kyle Rd. Monroe, 

OR 

http://www.sweetearthvineyards.com/

When: July 18th, 2015 12—2 

What to bring: 

 Quilts to show! Sweet Earth has a wonderful area for 

hanging quilts and extra clothes line available as well. 

 Snacks to share! This will be a very informal potluck. 

Any snacky food is encouraged.

 Money for wine! Sweet Earth has tastings available 

for $5 (includes 5 tastes) which is waived with a pur-

chase of wine. You can also buy glasses of your favor-

ite.

 Totes to swap! We will be having a swap between the 

guilds and the theme is totes! Bring a tote in a brown 

paper bag to swap with one of your fellow guild 

members.

 Water to drink! This is taking place in July so make 

sure to bring a water bottle of some sort. Sweet Earth 

does have a small air conditioned tasting room and 

the area we will be occupying is shaded.

The winery is pretty easy to find, driving south on 99W go to Monroe, turn right on Alpine Rd (I'm pretty sure I remember a sign saying Sweet Earth, but it's right after Dairy Mart), drive 3 miles or so to Kyle Drive and take a left. The winery is on Kyle Drive about 1.5-2 miles in. You can also get there taking Bellfountain to Alpine as well. 

Lots of people have asked about carpooling and I think that is an excellent idea! The winery has a decent amount of parking, but carpooling will be helpful. 

Thanks and I look forward to seeing everyone!
