RG:

The stars must be in alignment. Deb and I are both off for the 6th. I will have the work boat duty but should be there.
Deb can bring a pet bed or something, I can bring several (if needed) tables and a grill with dogs and burgers.

Let me know about tables. 455 7178.

We will be showing up by boat.

Misty Blue.

Rattlesnake Gal · 06-27-2011, 07:38 AM

I'm so glad you two can come! Thanks for the offer... I think some tables would be great for the raffle items and the pet bed is GREAT! Mac loves his and now Bailey needs one.

Can you bring two, so I can buy one? Deb might remember better the size that I would need. Bailey is almost 20" long from nose to butt.

We've been given the go for having a gas grill at the fest. Meredith Lady was planning on bringing the one she has access to from Kevin's Cafe, so we'll have to check with her on whether we will need yours too. The burgers that you made at the Lake Shore Park Pavilion were great!!!

Can't wait.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the fest!

Thanks for your wonderful generosity SS! It's up to you whether you want to donate it the charity or as a prize, like you did a couple years ago.

If you choose the charity, I'd be happy to put some tickets into the cups for you!

Thanks GNC! Your donation is much appreciated. I wouldn't mind winning your raffle item! Thanks for coming forward and supporting our cause. Without businesses like you, we couldn't do this!

There will be NO quilt for Forum Fest this year.

For over a year I have been working exclusively on an heirloom quality Wedding Quilt for my niece. For those who do not know quilts, it is called a "wholecloth quilt". You take two large pieces of fabric (90" X 90") and baste the quilt sandwich together. The entire pattern for the quilt is hand stitched into the fabric. It took a couple of months to design the top and many, many hours of hand work to create. It is quite beautiful!

There has been no time to make a quilt for Forum Fest.

Great Northern Cleaning · 07-19-2011, 12:27 PM

Will be mailing those out today to the forum PO box in the Weirs. Frank

Rattlesnake Guy · 07-19-2011, 03:55 PM

Quilt Lady,
Your fabulous quilts are always a big hit at the Fest. I am looking at one right now in it's place of honer at RG's chair where it gets used every day. I am confident we understand and appreciate all the ones you have supplied over the years. Hope you share a picture of your latest masterpiece with us when it's done. Your niece is very lucky to have an Aunt as talented as you.

WOW!!!!....I will be stuffing the cup with raffle tickets for that water color

That seen is one of my first memories of my life and one I've putted through thousands of times since. I may never have a lake house but that hanging in my home would be an honor

SteveA · 07-24-2011, 07:45 AM

there will bea Quilt Lady quilt in the raffle this year.

Several years ago Mrs. Steve A and I won a beautiful "Kittie" quilt made by Quilt Lady at a NH Humane Society fund raising event. We are thrilled to have won it, but with 8 cats in our house we never could find a place to display it where it wouldn't get covered with cat hair!

Go Figure...

After much discussion, and after a typed conversation with Quilt Lady, we have decided to donate it to this years Forum Fest. The boss, (AKA, She Who Must Be Obeyed) and I really love the idea of this beautiful quilt preforming the wonderful magic of helping two charities.

So, Dianne and I will not be able to make FF2011, but we are bringing the "Kittie Quilt" back to Quilt Lady and she will be bringing it to Forum Fest.
