Good morning ladies!

Our regularly scheduled meeting will not be happening tomorrow…… at least, not in person.  The program we had planned for you was Virtual Sewing Studios.  Several of our members responded to my call for photos of their sewing rooms.   Thanks to the miracle of modern technology you are still going to be able to enjoy the slideshow of these beautiful studios.  Better yet, you can pause the show any time you wish, to take a closer look.

The presentation will be available (tomorrow morning) and you can find it under the Members tab on the website–Savannah Quilt Guild April Program.

If you are like me you have been missing Show and Tell.  Let’s try to remedy that. Put on your best pajamas (aka COVID19 apparel) and take a picture of you and your latest project(s). Send the pics to me at theresasapp@aol.com and I will put them together in the Picture Gallery for everyone to enjoy.  I will send everyone an email when the folder is ready to share.  Let’s fill it with beautiful quilts, small projects and, yes, even face mask photos!!!! We have two months of Show and Tell to catch up on!

I hope that you enjoy the April Program.  Until we meet in person again, stay well!!!!!!!

Theresa

I have received information about two local organizations requesting face masks…. Please respond to this message if you are able to help.

From Judy S.-Hospice of Savannah would like to be able to give each of their (93) home care nurses at least 10 masks a piece.  The masks may be dropped at the rear entrance where a staff member is taking temps. If no one is there, knock on the back door.  Call Melissa Gayle @ (mobile) (912)314-1192 or (office) (912)629-1074 for more information.

From Julie D.-Magnolia Manor (retirement/assisted living) in Richmond Hill needs 30 masks ASAP.  They can be dropped or Julie can pick them up.

I am sure there are other local needs in the Savannah area. If you know of any, please post them here on our website.

BTW-Judy had a tip for making ear loops…cut up old socks or tights to obtain stretchy circles.

Judy S. sent me the information.
The website has two links-one showing how to make a face mask and the other a link to health agencies requesting masks. There is a drop down menu to search for individual states. As always, it is a good idea to make contact before sending masks.

I just loved the project Betty was working on at the retreat.  I found some beautiful Grunge recently and thought I would give this a try. All set and ready to go…I mean sew!

In light of the current safety concerns over the Corona virus as related to large group gatherings, the Friday Bee and Monthly Guild Meeting have been cancelled for this weekend. Stay safe and get some extra sewing time in🙂.
