All,

As the Sunshine Coordinator, it looks like I let the ball drop.  I noticed that the March Newsletter did not mention the passing of a valued member of our Guild.  Sandra Ailio passed on February 20th.  Sandra worked very hard for our guild to succeed.  She held many positions in our Guild, currently serving as Special Events Coordinator, and was a past Vice President.   She poured dedication and enthusiasm into every project she undertook.  We all loved Sandra and her passing will leave a huge void not only in our guild but in our hearts as well.

The drawing for the Talahi Community Center raffle quilt was held December 1st during a Hot Chocolate Social held at the community center.  The Friday Sew Bee donated the quilt to benefit the flooring fund for the center.  Josh, age 10, drew the winning ticket.  The winner is Giny O’Reilly who lives on Talahi.  I dropped off the quilt on the way home that night and Giny was thrilled that she won.  This quilt went to a quilt loving home and will be appreciated and loved!

Thanks to all of you who bought raffle tickets.  The community center is such a great place for our Friday Sew Bee and this is our way of giving back to their generosity to our group.  Special thanks to Judy King and Marilyn for the wonderful idea of donating this lovely Quilt.

The President Challenge is moved to the October 9th meeting.  It makes more sense that we have the reveal when our President is back and conducting the meeting.

Please bring your Show and Tell to take it’s place at the September meeting as we will hold Show and Tell as usual.

Thanks,

SQG Board

Special Notice:  Chairs will be spaced apart during the meeting and all attending members will be required to wear a mask due to the upsurge of the Covid Virus.  The meetings are important to so many of us and we want to be able to continue them without interruption.

The Saturday meeting will be a program by our own Julie Dobson.  She will catch us up on the launch of her patterns and fabric packs, along with her future classes and plans.  Julie will instruct us in the workshop after the meeting.  We will be making Halloween placemats for our October table dressings.  Check out the website under “Featured Events and Workshops” for the supply list.  Don’t forget to bring a lunch if you are attending the workshop.

September meeting was also the deadline for the President’s Challenge.  Bring your creative depictions of your Hometown themed quilts.  We are all anxious to see what this year’s challenge will produce.  It is inspiring to all of us to see the unique ways that people express their vision.  This will take the place of Show and Tell for September.

Friday Sew Bee ladies have a raffle quilt that they have made for a fund raiser for flooring at the Talahi Lake Community Center.  The quilt and tickets will be at the meeting this Saturday.  The tickets are $5 for 1 tickets or $20 for 5 tickets.  Bring cash to help support this worthy project.

Also, please bring your Apple and Pears to show during the workshop section of the meeting.
