Month: May 2025

Hello, Guild Friends!

Ellie here from Project Linus, asking for some help!

I received no less than 55 blankets this weekend, and I expect another 75+ on Wednesday! Every blanket donated to Project Linus needs to have a label sewn in the corner. I need help getting all these blankets labeled.

If I could get a few volunteers to pick up blankets and labels from my house that would really help me a lot. The labels can be sewn on with a machine: just a simple zig-zag down the long ends, no “pivoting” required (see picture)

You can return the blankets through the end of the month, or at the next guild meeting.

I live on Teresa Dr, not far from Southside Baptist.

Give me a call or text at 573-631-2571 if you can give me hand.

Thanks so much!

Ellie

Hi All,

I just found an email in my spam folder that ‘supposedly’ came from Michael Sengsteck soliciting money for a vendor payment by our group and we don’t have enough money. The email states to send money via Venmo or Zelle!

Do not send money!

And do not reply to that email!!

Next Wednesday, May 21, the Modern Bee will be meeting from 1-4 at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr.)  This month no machines are necessary.  We’ll be starting our new quilt challenge — circles.  The objective will be to start planning your quilt. Emily will be presenting a “show” of circles.  Bring any circle ideas you have — quilts, photos, ideas. And bring paper and pencil to start planning. we’re planning on a circle extravaganza. See you Wednesday.  This is a good time for newcomers since were starting a new project.

P.S. Bring show and tell quilts.

Hi All,

The Weekend Warrior open sew is cancelled for this coming Saturday. We will be picking up again in June.

Have a great weekend everyone.

This Friday, May 16th, Netflix is releasing a documentary on “The Quilters”. These quilters are incarcerated men in a Missouri maximum security prison who make quilts for foster care children.

I am very much intrigued to find out how they design their quilts. Do they use patterns from magazine, the internet or books? Do they design their own blocks and quilt tops? How did they learn and from whom? And how much creativity did they discover in themselves?

If interested, turn to Netflix on Friday 🙂
