2011 OPPORTUNITY QUILT

The winner of the 2011 Opportunity Quilt is QGGKC member Carol Marcks! Congratulations!

The 2010 Opportunity Quilt

was won by Kathi LaFrance from Colorado.  Here is what Kathi had to say: " I am so honored to be the person that won a one of a kind quilt design for your guilds 35Th anniversary.

Your guilds beautiful quilt arrived a few minutes ago! 

OH MY! What a beautiful quilt! You can feel/see the love that went into making this beautiful quilt!   The applique is stunning  and  the stars.. Oh My gosh!  They are perfect!  The long arm quilting shows off the quilt!   All the time and effort that went into making this quilt shows! One very beautiful quilt! 

My husband's first comment when he saw the quilt was..."That is my quilt...so, you won it.. I claim it!"  

I know that quilts are made to be used and loved, but this quilt will hang in my sewing/quilting room! It will be an inspiration for me...something to push me to make a quilt this exquisite. I have only been quilting for 3 years...so, i have a ways to go to get to this level...your quilt will encourage me!

I was sorry to hear that you will not have a quilt show this year! I had planned to drive my daughter to Lawrence to see her grandma...and make a side trip to see your show!  I will add my name to your newsletter mailing list and I will watch and see if you find another venue for your shows!

Thank you again,"
