Surfside Quilters Guild 11-16-23

Tuesday was the BIG day for Surfside Quilters  Guild.  November Fest is our semi-annual fund raiser, the finale of 12 months of planning, sewing, organizing, etc..  So many of our almost 200 members were involved in some aspect of the event. It not only provides funds for programs, philanthropy, and operating expenses, it builds new friendships, teaches us new skills, and promotes quilting and knowledge of our guild to the public.  It was a fun day and financially successful.

Since I am the photographer for the guild there are few pictures of me, but someone insisted. Elizabeth Geer is seated at the piano, she is one of three or four  members who play before the meeting and during the break. She is a very active member and chaired the Raffle Basket committee for November Fest.

Susan Ritschel was the Nov Fest Coordinator who worked all year with the various   committees to make it all come together. Behind her is one of the Live Auction quilts made by Cathie Opila.

Another quilt by Cathie Opila.
I had then winning bid for this one.

A bright quilt made by Nancy Ota.
This is the quilt I wanted most of all and it is mine!!!

I was  high bidder for two more which I will post another day.
