Pix has created a delightful list of quilt classes to be offered at the St. Jacobs Mennonite Church the week of the Quilt Festival. For a complete schedule email  epixfashion@gmail.com      This photo showcases Judy Gascho-Jutzi course- learning to create trees.

Members of The St. Jacobs Quilt Shows Board met April 4th to finalize plans for the upcoming events to be held

in May. Pix reported that several people have signed up for the bus trip as well as the courses offered at the Mennonite Church. Lorene was pleased to join us after a delightful winter spent in Florida. Volunteers have been phoning Susan and Wendy...really eager to sign up. Look for an interesting display case at The Mill featuring Quilt Show items. Elsa has sold tickets to a tour group for the quilt show. Things are gearing up!!!

Pix, our cheerleader has created an amazing quilt design for the blocks submitted for,' The Quilt Block Challenge 2013.' Lynn and Pix were delighted with the number of votes cast while the individual blocks were on display at The Mill. Winners were selected...but it is a secret until Monday, May 20th. Pix has received many phone calls regarding the bus trip and courses offered. Don't be disappointed..phone today!!!

Children at The St. Jacobs -After-School Daycare Program are busy making a quilt to be hung in the Schoolhouse during the Quilt Festival. Children's hands cut from fabric will be used to design a tree. The children's visit to the tearoom is a highlight as they excitedly admire their quilt, followed by a cup of tea and treats. Their teacher is to be commended for her efforts in introducing the children to quilting.

Just Judy

   

You will never believe a Judy mannequin, dressed in a tutu excited me at The World's Figure Skating event in London. Why? Each year Lynn, our interior designer keeps members of the Board in suspense! We never know what Judy will be wearing at the quilt show...  one year she wore a beautiful dress of log cabin blocks and last year she was in formal attire. 'Judy,' gets dressed during the wee hours of the morning... it is the first thing I check out! Any guesses what Judy will be wearing this year!!!
