Crocheters for Linus meet this Thursday

Hi, Crocheters and Project Linus Lovers,

Come join us at The PARC for our Crocheters for Linus meeting.  The meeting will be held this Thursday, the 23rd of April at 1:00 pm.  Future meetings will be held at the same location on the 4th Thursday of the month at 1:00 pm.

The April meeting will be focused on making sample borders on small fleece rectangles.  We don’t want anyone to get bored doing the same stitch on every fleece blanket for the kids!  Do your research for a new stitch, make up a new border stitch or use your favorite stitch combinations to create your sample for our members.

Also, helpers are available to assist new members get started on their stitches.  If you are a crocheting pro or a beginner and have a passion for making kids warm and cozy, please come join us.  Just email me at the email address below.

The PARC is located at 425 Pennsylvania Avenue, 912-651-4211.  Please email to let me know you will be there!

Thanks,

Renee Christensen, rippinrenee@gmail.com

Update for the Presentation by Sarah Garcia

Please read the note from Sarah:

Hi!
This is Sarah Garcia with the quilt research project. I just wanted to let you know there was a last minute schedule change with my research presentation. Instead of being from 12-2, it is now from 12-1. It’s still tomorrow, Thursday April 16th just for a shorter time. Also, it is in Hawes Hall room 115.
Thank you again to you and everyone at the Guild for being so kind, welcoming, and generous with your time! I had a wonderful time working on this project and getting to attend meetings. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you!
Sarah Garcia 🙂

Georgia Southern Presents Sarah Garcia and her Research Poster on Quilts and Quilters.

Back in March, Sarah Garcia reached out for pictures and quilters that would support her research project on Quilting for a college class at Georgia Southern.  On Thursday, April 16th at 12:00 to 2:00 pm she will be presenting her Poster and the information that she gathered from several of our members.  The presentation will be in Hawes Hall at the old Armstrong campus on the south side of Savannah.  The campus is located at 11935 Abercorn St, Savannah, GA 31419.
She has invited our quilters to attend her and watch her presentation!
Here is her previous email describing her project:
My name is Sarah Garcia. I am the student from Georgia Southern that is conducting research on quilts! I was planning to attend the March meeting but was unfortunately out of town that day. I do hope to go to the meeting in April!
I was wondering if you would be able to send me some photos of quilts that have been made by Guild members? I will be presenting a research poster and would like to include photos of some local quilts. Thank you very much and I hope you have a wonderful week!
Thank you!
Sarah Garcia
