2007 Quilt Market

Our quilt market was held on October 20, 2007.  It was a great success.  We took in $9650 with 27 members selling quilts and quilt-related items.  We had about 26 large quilts and many lap size and wall hangings.

 There was something for everyone as the shoppers lined up before 10 AM on Saturday morning eager to see what LAP members had for sale this year.  We were very busy from 10 AM until noon.  The afternoon had lots of buyers but wasn't as crowded as the morning.  The floor helpers were kept busy moving merchandise around to fill in all the empty spaces where things had sold.

 The Oriental Challenge and other items donated to the Guild brought in $600.  Thank you to everyone who participated in the challenge.  We hung all the oriental items together and it was a beautiful display.

2007 Donation Quilt

Our 2007 Donation Quilt pieced and quilted by members of the Los Alamos Piecemakers Quilt Guild.   The drawing for the quilt was held at the Quilt Market on October 20, 2007 and won by Fay Beals of Sandia Park, NM.

Thanks!
Special thanks to Fran and Tom Suchocki for picking up the frames from the County, setting them up AND  taking them back to the County.  We could not have done this without their help.  Thanks to Jim Friar, too, for helping with the setup and takedown.  Thanks to the LAHS Cross Country boys (lead by Chris Ussery) who hung the sign on the overpass.  Claire Swinhoe did a great job letting everyone know about Market this year with advertising in magazines and the Monitor. Thank you, Claire.  Thank you to all who helped with set-up, cashiers, white glove ladies and take down.  Our volunteers are the greatest!
