Food, Bingo and Quilts, Doesn't Get Better Than That

What a fun meeting of the Syracuse Utah Quilt Guild at our annual summer "picnic."  There was lots of great food, fun Bingo games where I think everyone won at least two prizes and then Sew and Tell sharing some great quilts.  

Sandra, our area representative from the Utah Quilt Guild brought this lovely quilt that will go to a lucky winner as an opportunity quilt at Utah Quilt Fest September 15-19 at the Davis Conference Center.  There is still time to sign up for some classes and lots of volunteer opportunities.  There is  more informations available at www.utahquiltguild.org  

If you haven't had a chance yet, make sure you visit the Brigham City Museum for the 2015 International Quilt Invitational Exhibition through August 29; admission is free.  More information at www.brighamcitymuseum.org 

After our updates for the Utah Quilt Guild, and welcome to guest (and new member) Toni, we got down to the important part of the meeting, lunch.  There was so much great food and even though it wasn't a funeral, Suzanne's Funeral Potatoes were a hit with everyone, along with all the great salads and desserts.

Next up was Bingo with lots of prizes, laughs and lots of fun!
