Month: March 2024

The Modern Bee will be meeting Wednesday, March 20 1-4 at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr). Everyone invited.

This month we’ll be continuing to work on our “puzzle” quilts, a la Cindy Grisdela. We’ll be working on additional block options that can add even more interest to the quilts — angled stripes, wonky triangles, and freehand curves (if we have time). In additional we’ll talk more about doing a round robin quilt or a variation of such a project. Also don’t forget your modern show and tell quilts, including your finished or in progress “puzzle” quilt.

Bring your machines and more fabric for your 3.6.9 puzzle quilt. You’ll need at least six different colors in about 8″ swatches. If you weren’t with us last month to start these quilts don’t worry about it just bring a palette of coordinated colors and you’ll be just fine.

This is a reminder that our March 9 meeting is being held at The First Christian Church of Savannah. The address is 711 E. Victory Drive, Savannah 31405. From Victory Drive (traveling East) turn Right onto Paulson, then take the first alley on the right to the parking lot behind the Fellowship Building. Parking will be tight, so please consider car-pooling with friends. I have asked Mary Bell Fuller to help direct cars in the lot so we can get as many in as possible. See you all Saturday! Kim

Katie Lewis will be here for our Friday Scrappy Applique Class at the First Christian Church at 711 E. Victory Drive, Savannah.  Parking is accessed by turning right onto Paulsen Ave off Victory and then a right into the lane that runs behind the church.  Turn right into the parking lot. We will meet in the Fellowship Hall which is in front of you behind the playground.  Plan to be there by 9:30am so that you have time to set up your workstation before class starts at 10:00 am.  Class will run until 3:00pm.  Please bring your supplies as detailed in the student supply list. (if you need another copy, please let me know). Check that your sewing machine is in working order and you have an iron and ironing mat. We will have both available . Also please wear your name tag, bring water and a lunch.
