The Gourd Artist Guild is a large group of Gourd heads from all around the world, who chat together sharing ideas, techniques, and friendship through John Stacey's Patch Pal e-mail list.

112 Gourd artists have come together to create the WORLD'S FIRST GOURD PATCH QUILT. Each of the artists submitted their speciality of artwork onto a flat 4"x4" gourd tile. Lynette Dawson and daughter Margaret Schroeder are stitching it together. Framework has been constructed and the project is well under way. The Quilt will make its debut on April 3-4, 2004 at the Indiana Gourd Show. It can also be seen in person at the Cherokee Gourd Artist Gathering on May 21-23, 2004.

This is an opportunity to provide the gourd world with something very
unique from the Gourd patch. We should garner a lot of publicity for each Artist that is involved in this fabulous venture.

A huge Thank You to the Gourdfather, John Stacy for providing us the Gourdpatch/GourdArtistsGuild forum.

If it wasn't for John, there wouldn't be this fantastic group of patchers.
