 Her program for the May 13th Guild meeting described her personal kaleidoscope making journey - and details about cutting and piecing all the fabrics.  

This picture (above) shows how each fabric selected for a kaleidoscope quilt
 is 'fussy cut' to achieve the symmetrical pieces used in making a kaleidoscope.

Guild Member Betty Berenotto
For the last 22 years Guild member Betty Berenotto has been taking photos of every guild members' quilts at the Show & Share portion of our meetings.  Each month she has two copies of the photos made.  One copy is given to the pictured Guild member and one copy of the quilt photo is placed in a scrap book.  Betty is now passing on the photo duties to a new photographer.  Betty is pictured here with just a few of the many scrapbooks. The scrap books include guild meeting Show & Share quilts and Guild quilt show photos.  Thank you so much, Betty, for being the record keeper of the Guild's quilts.  The scrap books contain a wonderful look back at all the members' talents and changes in the quilting world.
Betty is keeping her duties in the Guild as historian and record keeper.
