Who will be the 1st Champion

Dear Quilters:

Stone House Quilters is sponsoring a Fall Quilt Competition for Nov. 2 at Manassas Baptist Church.   There will be five-person teams and the goal is to: (a) HAVE FUN; and, (b) create a quilt top 48" x 60" within three-hours. Fabrics and Theme will be provided by Stone House.  Each team will consist of three sewers, one ironer, one cutter and you will need to decide who will be team captain. Team registration is $100 per team ($20  per person) and lunch will be provided to all participants. Bring your friends along to cheer you on. At the end of the competition, all quilt tops will be judged, by independent judges, and prizes awarded. Please review the documents attached and register a team at your earliest convenience. All teams are on a first come,first serve basis.  

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. On the flyer you will see a website which directs you to the registration form and contact information should you have any questions.

Thank you, Sue Graves - Stone House Quilters
