The Virginia Beach Modern Quilt Guild will change the date of our meetings to the THIRD Saturday of the month starting with June 2015 meeting.  

This item was put to a member vote at the 4/25/15 meeting and the majority of attending members voted for changing the date to the third Saturday.  

Information on the Hopes and Dreams Quilt Challenge:

Hopes & Dreams Quilt Challenge for ALS

• Begins August 1^st and ends July 31^st of the next year (quilts received after July 31st are automatically entered in to the next year's challenge)
• Minimum quilt size 35"x 44" or larger. Lap or bed quilts of all sizes are welcomed.
• We encourage the addition of a 4" removable or hidden sleeve on the backside of the quilting for displaying.
• Please not the size of your finished quilt on the Entry Form.
• If you used a specific pattern or fabric line and would like to share that with fellow entrants the information is shared on the Hopes & Dreams Facebook page for the enjoyment of quilters across the world.
• Tied quilts are welcomed, as are knit or crochet blankets -- however, at this time they are not eligible for quilt challenge prizes.

Please note that quilts will be accepted until July 31, so you can bring your donation quilts to any meeting up to the July meeting to be added to our total donation of quilts for the year.  We have the forms available that should go with each donated quilt.
