| QUILT FOR RAFFLE: Stars and Stripes by Fran McEachern |

|
Award winning fiber artist Fran McEachern of the Ice House Quilters has made and donated another beautiful handmade quilt to benefit the Ice House Art Center.
Fran has used subtle shades of red, blue, white and cream in small blocks to form the delicate stars amongst the arrangement of stripes. The large (90”x 90”) Stars and Stripes quilt is on display now in the Piecemakers exhibition here at the art center.
The drawing is to be held at the Gourd Patch Festival this fall. Tickets are available now for $1 each. Stop by to see this gorgeous quilt and get your tickets TODAY.

Mayfield/Graves County Art Guild Receives Governor's Award in the Arts
"The Governor's Awards in the Arts celebrate Kentuckians and Kentucky organizations whose involvement in the arts covers a wide range of arts creation and support for the arts. Recipients of the Governor's Awards in the Arts share one thing in common--all have the spirit of enriching the lives of Kentuckians through the arts."
--Governor Steven L. Beshear
In October, Dana Heath will accept The Community Arts Award during a public ceremony at the State Capitol in Frankfort. The Community Arts Award is one of the nine awards that comprise the Governor's Awards in the Arts. This is a huge honor for the Mayfield/Graves County Art Guild. Special thanks to Margaret Merida for the nomination and to all who give their time and money to help keep this place going.

COMPUTER NEEDED
Do you have a gently used computer that you would like to donate to the Art Guild? The computer we have now seems to be in its death throes. We have backed up the files and tried to repair it, but we fear it is only a matter of time. Of course, we would gladly accept a new one.
