Savannah Squares

A Piece of Savannah Through Your Eyes

Inspired by the cherished tradition of the Baltimore Album quilts from my home state of Maryland—which brought together deeply personal symbols and imagery into expressive, story-filled blocks—this year’s President’s Challenge invites you to create your own Savannah Square.

Your challenge: design and complete a 16″ x 16″ quilt that reflects what Savannah means to you. It could be inspired by your favorite square, a blooming tree in your neighborhood, marsh birds on a morning walk, a bit of historic ironwork, or simply the way the sunlight hits your porch. This is your opportunity to share a personal connection to Savannah—through color, texture, shape, and stitch.

Whether you work in appliqué, piecing, embroidery, or mixed media techniques, all approaches are welcome. This is a space for creativity, not convention—so let your materials and methods speak as freely as your inspiration.

Guidelines:

• Create one finished 16” x 16” square quilt sandwich
• It should be an original design, inspired by something personal and Savannah-based
• Any technique—or combination of techniques—is welcome
• Be ready to share a brief reflection at the November meeting: what inspired your square, what you challenged yourself to try, or what you learned

All completed “Savannah Squares” will be shared at the November meeting where you can tell your story and a give glimpse of Savannah through a quilter’s eye.

We can’t wait to see your piece of the story.

Hi All,

The Weekend Warriors will be meeting on July 19th at Talahi Community Center from 1-5pm. Bring any type of project you want to work on.

Send me a note if you like to come and sew, I’ll be happy to set up a table for you.

Talahi is asking for a $3.00 fee from each participant, so bring cash.

This sew-in is open to everyone – hope to see you Saturday.

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
