Help Keep the Doors of The Quilters Hall of Fame Open

Hope your fingers are busy stitching an entry for The Quilters Hall of Fame's salute to Eleanor Burns who will be inducted during Celebration 2012 in July in Marion, Indiana! (Click here for Registration information.)

You have until June 30 to get your entry in and it doesn't have to be very large -- only 24"x24" (61cm x 61cm). In 2009 the Baltimore Applique Society made and auctioned over 50 small quilts to help keep the doors of The Quilters Hall of Fame/Marie Webster House open raising almost $6,000 for TQHF. You can see all of those entries from 2009 by clicking here to go to the BAS website.  The 2009 effort was the 2nd time the BAS had made quilts as a fund raiser for TQHF. Their first gift of a fund raising quilt was in 2000 when they reproduced two copies of Marie Webster's Wayside Roses pattern.

We greatly appreciate every entry donated to our Fund Raising efforts. Some will be auctioned. Some will be set aside for the Gift Shop.

If you haven't yet seen the rules, here they are.
