SHAWNEE QUILTERS OF SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
Shawnee Quilters guild was formed in 1986 and we currently have about 80 members from across southern Illinois and one member who lives in the Netherlands.
In 1997 we adopted a sister guild, Wyndham Patchworkers, from Victoria, Australia.
Our charity project, Kids Quilts, donates at least 100 quilts a year to charities that serve children. Last year our board decided to participate in the Priority: Alzheimer Quilt project by issuing a challenge to members to make a quilt for display at our annual show at Harrah's Hotel in Metropolis, Illinois. The show coincides with the AQS Show in Paducah (Metropolis is only 7 miles from Paducah).
Our sister guild the Wyndham Patchworkers sent 8 quilts for the show. Viewers exhibited a very enthusiastic response and several indicated that they wanted to get their own guilds involved in making Priority: Alzheimer Quilts.
Our quilts are numbers 5093 through 5137. The quilts made by Wyndham Patchworkers are numbers 5102, 5107, 5110, 5111, 5123, 5124, 5125, 5128.
