Cranberry Quilt Guild prepares for show

Numerous UFOs are showing up at every Cranberry Quilt Guild meeting, and they are beautiful! Guild members were challenged by President Deb Kessel to list their “UFO,” or unfinished quilt projects. Each month a number off the list is selected and members are encouraged to “finish” that object; be it a quilt, wall hanging or table set. The challenge is being very well-received and members are anxious to display these items at the upcoming quilt show.

The 2022 Cranberry Quilt Guild show will be held Sept. 17 and 18 at the Weatherly Middle school. On display will be quilts of all sizes from king size to mini. The guild has had many challenge projects throughout the past years, and all of these will be displayed during the show, along with many new projects still in progress.

A vendor area is planned along with a bake sale and the fun Quilt Boutique, featuring handmade gifts and holiday themed pieces that are unique and one of a kind, all for purchase.

The mini quilt raffle is always a big interest with mini quilts 22 inches or smaller being offered as raffle prizes. The quilt show is the first since before the pandemic, and promises to be bigger and better than ever in a much larger event space. Vendor and show information can be obtained by calling Deb, show chairwoman, at 570-436-1469.

Community service projects are a big part of the guild. This year members are hard at work on baby quilts and small backpacks. Walker tote bags are always needed as well, with over 35 donated to present date. The pillow challenge reveal will take place soon, and members are urged to participate in what promises to be a very colorful and individual creation highlighting their birth month flower and color.
