Punkins

Tired of the mess with carved pumpkins? Here's a wonderful alternative to the mess and the moldy squash you're left with after halloween.

This is a simple technique you can use on pumpkins or gourds. Your pumpkins will last months and you don't have to worry about your pumpkins or gourds going moldy after they've been cut into.
All you need are some good paint brushes and some acrylic paint, a bit of curly ribbon and some Halloween theme ribbon for the stems and you're good to go!
Make up a bunch to set out on your steps for trick or treaters. They make fun gifts for friends and are great sellers at craft fairs!
Have a fundraiser. Get together with friends and have a painting party then sell your pumpkins to raise money for your organization.
If you get a production line going they go quite quickly.
Have fun with your punkin people and Happy Halloween!

Quilt Raffle
The RoseWillow Arts and Crafts Guild would like to let everyone know that Tammy's tuesday morning Quilting group is raffling a Beautiful "Grand Sampler Quilt".
(click photo to see larger version)
Tammy tells us, "Most of the proceeds (we keep a little to pay for using the meeting room) will be going to the Elizabeth Freeman Center. The last quilt we raffled brought in enough for us to donate $1000.00 to the Fire Dept. to put towards buying a new piece of equipment.
If you are interested in seeing the squares Tammy did pop over to the Arts and Crafts Guild forum and have a look see.
I am told that we will be able to purchase tickets on the quilt and I must say they are going for a song! Tickets are $1.00 a piece or 6 for $5.00 the club says it will pay for shipping if you are to win. They haven't quite worked out how they'll let us get our money to them yet but I'm sure Tammy will keep us posted.
If you're interested in purchasing some tickets on the quilt leave Tammy a note in her forum or you can drop us a line at the Arts & Crafts Guild once we get the details we'll let everyone know in our forum.
The Draw Date is December 9th, 2008
Best of luck to the Quilting Group on the fundraising !
