4 Silent Auction The Silent Auction has been an important part of our show and we would like to have a higher participation rate of guild members than we have had in the past so we are trying a new program of helping people get together to create baskets. There will be a sign up list at the Sept. meeting for anyone interested in joining 2 or 3 people to create a basket for the Silent Auction. If you have already donated or plan to donate a Silent Auction item, you do not need to participate in the basket option. Page 4 Here s what you will need to do: At the September meeting sign up with 2 or 3 people to create a basket. We can help you find a team if you are new to the guild or just don t know what to do. Decide on a theme and discuss with your team what each team member will bring to create a basket of goodies at the October meeting. Purchase or make the items you have decided to put into the basket before the October 11th meeting. Bring your items to the October 11th meeting. At the October 11th meeting, you will create your basket. Baskets will be provided at the meeting and the Silent Auction chairs and other members will be there to help you. (I even heard that their might be prizes for the most creative or interesting baskets.) Ideas for Basket themes: Pumpkin pie, Halloween or other holiday theme, wool applique, knitting, young girl or young boy, chocolate, coffee and/or tea, gardening, kitchen stuff, baking, reading, quilting, baby, holiday entertaining, Get Well Soon, etc. It does not have to be quilting related. I am sure many of you can come up with other creative ideas. MORE details to come at September meeting!! If you have any questions, please contact Therese Chambers (therese4131@yahoo.com) Page 4

8 Hand Laundry Service for Quilts and Fine Linens First, a bit of history about our hand-laundry service... The Laundry is located in Milwaukee, WI where for over 50 years we have been caring for (hand-laundering and restoring) new, heirloom and antique linens... including hand and machine made quilts! After laundering, we hand block the linens and quilts to their original dimensions on large padded tables (a quilter s dream come true!). This oldworld technique produces a superior finish and is unduplicated at any other laundry facility in the country. We are proud to serve customers Coast to Coast! In addition, we also manufacture and sell our specialty laundry powder, the same laundry powder we use here at The Laundry, perfect for laundering quilts at home! Visit our website for more information regarding our services and products! Demonstration Opportunity at the Milwaukee Maker Faire Anyone interested in demonstrating at the Milwaukee Maker Faire.? The Milwaukee Maker Faire is part of an international movement to showcase people who make things (Makers) and the things that they make. Milwaukee is one of the largest Maker Faires in the country and is the largest free Maker Faire. Last year attendance was over 45,000 people over two days. I have a booth for Fiber Artists and am looking for demonstrators who are available any time on Saturday September 23 from 10 am to 7 pm or on Sunday September 24 from 10 am to 5 pm at Milwaukee State Fair Park. In my booth I am trying to increase the participation of fiber and handwork guilds and artists to show people the variety of high quality hand made work that is available and to get information out about the many different guilds in the area. Last year we had demonstrators who crochet, smock, needlepoint and tat. Everyone who participated enjoyed themselves. Demonstrators are free to hand out information about their guilds, classes they offer or items they sell but cannot sell anything in the booth. If interested contact Jenny Ross jenny60060@gmail.com More information about the Maker Faire is available here: Page 8
