OT - Quilt Guild Games
I have a set of those dice! What a great idea. My family didn't think
playing with pennies or nickels was much fun. I may play this with my small group at our Christmas luncheon. IF I can remember to plan it.

Keagy Amelia Island Quilters We had Linda Ballard come to our guild. She asked everyone to bring 10 - 6" squares of fabric. She then gave each table dice that had L, R and C on them. You rolled the dice and for every L you passed one of your squares Left for every R you passed a square to the person on your Right and for every C you put a square in the center of the table. I think each table had 3 or 4 dice. It went quickly and pretty soon only one person had any squares left. The person left with a square got all the squares in their pile and in the center of the table. Then, Linda gave everyone a pattern made with 6" squares. I found the dice at the local game shop at the mall. They came in a tube with some poker chips. When I bought them the store clerk said that lots of ladies had been buying that game lately :-) It was fun and the game moved fast even with 7 or 8 at a table. Also, one year we did a scavenger hunt. That was really fun. Each month I read a list of 5 things they needed to find at their home to bring to the meeting. I told them if they missed a meeting they missed out because no one would want to help the competition. (also, the board had agreed to omit the list from the meeting minutes but just say that the next 5 items had been given) I had things on the list like: Bring your oldest guild roster Bring a ticket stub from any guild raffle quilt Bring a quilt book by someone who has spoken at guild meeting Bring a wooden spool Bring a thimble Bring a guild newsletter Bring the ugliest fabric from your stash Bring the oldest unfinished quilting project you have and so on. A team was whoever ended up at the same table together. Some things like the ugliest fabric won individual prizes. I had given each table a score sheet for them to check off the items the table had brought. The winning table got a prize for each person. The ladies really enjoyed it. I think the oldest unfinished project was from the 1970's so that got a good laugh too. marcella |

We had an unannounced scavenger hunt. Everything had to be found in
our purses. There was a point system which I can not remember exactly but it was something like this: One point for every frequent buyer's card from a quilt store. One point for every sample of fabric. (remember this had to be in your purse!) One point for each quilt show notice (a flyer not a calendar note) One point for each quilting tool on a specific list like thimble, scissors, needle, thread, etc. One point if you had any of the following (no additional points for multiples of the same thing) Pictures of your family, pictures of your quilts, and a few other common things. We had been arranged in groups of six members who didn't know each other very well. The points were gathered as a team. It was a great mixer. Susan On Fri, 4 Nov 2005 19:25:35 -0500, "Diane S.

I've made a quilted nametag, and done show-n-share, and know that there are friendship quilt squares, fat quarter drawings, and various charity projects. ...... but so far I haven't encountered Quilto. Should I be afraid? How is it played??? (This way I'll know when it's a good time to politely excuse myself, or just stay for the action.) Annie We played it this way (which seems to be different from the rest) The bingo card had squares and QUILTO on the top. Some of the squares were blank Some of the squares had things written in them like, quilts left handed, loves the color orange, has a birthday this month, has at least 4 children, quilts by hand etc. People were given the form and had to get other guild members to sign a square. You could only sign a persons page once. Once everyones card was filled we played. Bowls of wrapped candy were on the tables for markers. When people checked in to guild meeting they wrote their name on a slip of paper. We put all those slips in a bag and drew from there. Our ladies really liked it, but then it was a bit of a mixer as well as the game. That, and we've only done it once so it's not like they'd been playing it once a year for the last 5 years. marcella |

Every year at our Christmas meeting we have a member that dresses as
Mrs. Claus and reads the Quilters Night Before Christmas. Everyone who wants to participates brings in a $5 gift (quilt related) wrapped and gathers into a circle. We most usually have 100% participation on this with about 85-100 members at the meetings. Whenever Mrs. Claus says the word "the" when reading the story we have to pass the gift to our right. When she is done reading the story we end up with a gift. Diane S.
