Bee Happy Quilts
The Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild will once again be quilting for a cause during the guild’s 2022 exhibit. Members are invited to help raise funds for the Humble Bumble Project by making a small wall quilt to be sold during the exhibit.
The rules are easy…just make a quilt no larger than 12”x12” or smaller than 9”x12”! Quilts can have a bee theme or anything that makes you happy. All quilting styles, colors, techniques, and abilities are welcome!
All “Bee Happy” quilts submitted will be offered for sale at the price of $25.00 each during the month of the exhibit. All profits will be donated to the Humble Bumble Project at the close of the exhibit.
The Humble Bumble Project is a 501 (c)(3) public charity, based in Tioga County, PA, dedicated to helping pediatric and young adult cancer patients and their families. Learn more about the Humble Bumble Project and the services they offer at www.humblebumbleproject.com.
Complete rules and necessary guidelines can be found on the “Bee
Happy Quilts” entry form, which can be emailed to you by either Susan (suzymc44@gmail.com) or Nikki (ndwilson@stny.rr.com .)
Entry Forms and finished quilts should be given to Susan Mc. on or before August 15, 2022.

You may enter as many categories as you wish, but space at the Center’s gallery will determine how many of your entries will be hung. Viewers’ Choice Ribbons will be awarded for first, second, third, and honorable mention in each category.
QUILT EXHIBIT RULES
1. Entrants must be current MLQG members as of the June 2022 meeting.
2. Entry must be exclusively the member’s own work except for professional machine or hand quilting.
3. Entry must have been completed since October 2018, and cannot have hung in a previous Gmeiner exhibit. It must be clean and in good condition.

5. Each entry must have a 4" sleeve casing sewn to the top back of the quilt (exception: clothing or small miscellaneous items). A split sleeve helps balance quilt hanging. Include a dowel, labeled with the entrant’s name for all wall hangings, challenge pieces, miniatures.

We ate too much, but it all tasted so good.
The staff took care of us as a friend would.
We laughed too much, but the need for escape was understood.
We shared moments of friendship, that's what happens when you form a sisterhood.
Well, once again we are victims of a snowstorm. Tonight's meeting is canceled to err on the side of safety. Please watch your email for a notice of what to do with Round Robin quilts and for any updates Sylvia has on the Quilt Exhibit. Sell those raffle tickets!!!!
I received a note today from the Quilters in Bloom guild from Bloomsburg, PA letting us know the dates of their upcoming quilt show. She enclosed a bunch of these bookmarks that I will pass out at our meeting on Monday evening.
