Year: 2023

Hi Guild Members!

Today is the start of a really fun Project Linus event: the Mystery Quilt Challenge! For $20, you receive weekly step-by-step instructions and videos to create a single themed block, similar to the Quilt Guild “block of the month.” At the end of eight weeks is the “Big Reveal” with instructions to complete a youth-sized quilt!

You can sign up for the Mystery Quilt Challenge at https://www.projectlinus.org/  Make sure to specify Savannah / Hilton Head as the Chapter Name, and Ellie Grix as the Coordinator so that your donation benefits this local chapter.

The first clue is revealed on September 23! This is a fun project for quilters of all skill levels, and a great fundraiser for Project Linus.

The Hand Appliqué Bee will meet on Tuesday 22 Aug 1:00 – 4:00 at the Garden CityLibrary, 104 Sunshine Rd.  There will be a workshop to learn how to make turned edge appliqués using fiber, templar and freezer paper.  This method can be used for hand and machine appliqué.

Supply List

• scissors
• pencil
• glue pen (like Fons and Porter or Sewline)
• 10” piece of fabric

Hello again, members! I forgot to mention a policy regarding quilting donated tops:

Project Linus can only complete quilt tops when the materials have been provided by our chapter funds (i.e. the quilt kits and projects made on Sew Days). We cannot accept any other donated quilt tops due to limited funding and supplies.

Thank you all for your understanding! E-mail me if you have any questions regarding Project Linus’ policies on donations.

All,

If you would like to sit together at the movies tomorrow, go the theater site online and select row D.

Hello, guild members! First of all, thank you all so much for your continued support of Project Linus. This chapter is incredibly fortunate to have so many talented and generous quilters in our community!

I’m excited to announce our next event: a “Quilting Day,” held Saturday, September 30. RSVP and details here: https://forms.gle/j2gmXQwRSuKhoUCb9

Rather than sewing quilt tops, we’ll be assembling the Quilt Kits into finished quilts. Project Linus will provide the batting and 108″ wide backing fabric. We need volunteers to cut batting, prepare backing fabric, assemble binding strips, and most importantly, quilt the “sandwiches” together. Fancy designs are not necessary; simple “stich in the ditch” or wavy lines are perfect!

Click the link above to RSVP (you can edit your response later).

And finally, if you took home a Quilt Kit at the August meeting, please have it ready by the September 9 meeting! 

If you have any questions, e-mail me at elliegrix@gmail.com

Thank you!

Ellie
