Month: July 2025

Meeting Reminder – Tomorrow, July 13

We’ve got a full “summer boardwalk & beach” celebration planned, so here are a few quick notes:

• No Take-It Table this month. Every surface will be in action for games, food, and beach-themed fun, so please save your giveaway items for the August meeting.

• Bring your Six 2½” strips for our Left–Right–Center game. The more strips in the pot, the more fun!

• Don’t forget the pot-luck dish you signed up to provide—the picnic spread depends on it.

Cheryl Dingledine and her team have packed the agenda with plenty of seaside-inspired activities. Come ready to relax, laugh, and swap a few strips with friends. And, don’t forget to come dressed for the party!

See you tomorrow! It’s “shore” to be fun

Our Zoom meeting is coming up Wednesday July 16, 1 pm.

Rita has a great article from Carol Lyles Shaw, I Love Maximalism in Modern Quilts.  We would like everyone to read this short piece, and enjoy the pictures, for discussion at our meeting.

Please send your name and email to  Mary Bass to be added to the meeting attendees.

The July Luncheon is tomorrow!  You will be bringing a food dish instead of take-it table items.  So much more yummy 😋.

Bring your food dish with a serving utensil to the 3 tables that are set up for food.  They will be located on the kitchen side of the room.  There will be tented cards to identity your dish if it is gluten free, vegan, vegetarian or dairy free.  Please place the one that best describes your dish on the rim of your bowl or pan.  This is not necessary for fruit bowls or easily identified dishes.

After the exciting day of fun and games please remember to take home your bowl and utensils.  It will sure make the clean up easier for the volunteers.

I’ll see you tomorrow, as soon as I find my flip flops!

Sun surf and fun is the theme of July’s quilt meeting. Here are a couple of important reminders:

Check in at the front table with Jan if you haven’t paid your $5 yet

If you have paid your $5 she will have your 5 tickets for the boardwalk games.  You will definitely want to check out the boardwalk games for a chance to win prizes

Don’t forget your (6) 2 1/2 in by wof strips in beach designs or colors for left right center games

if you have a Mexican train game please bring it so everyone can play. Don’t worry if you don’t know how it’s easy to learn

Please don’t forget the side dish or food you have signed up to bring

Dress Code is beach or boardwalk style or colors  no bathing suits 😎

And most important  get ready for laughs, getting to know the people in the guild and make new friends
