This message is from Donna Simmons of the Palmetto Quilt Guild……..

The Palmetto Quilt Festival is just around the corner. March 22 – 24, 2024. Hours are 10a-5p Friday and Sat. And 10a-1p on Sunday. Once again, we will be in the ballroom at Hilton Head Beach and Tennis Resort, Folly Field, Hilton Head Island.

Breaking News: This year we are offering in addition to Displayed and Judged QUILTS, Vendors, Market Place, Silent Auction and fellowship with other quilters, we are offering an AQS Certified Quilt Appraiser, Brenda Grampsas!!!

Many of you, like myself have quilts of higher value. Did you know that in case of a disaster and your quilt is destroyed you would only be reimbursed by your insurance company the value of a blanket? Or if you are thinking of selling that lovely quilt, what is the fair market value?
That is just a couple of reasons to have your quilt(s) appraised.

So as a service to our quilting Community we have added Quilt Appraisal to our Festival for the first time.

The cost of a written appraisal from Brenda is $65 which is payable to Brenda by check or cash. She also offers a verbal appraisal for the cost of $20. Brenda will appraise both New and Vintage Quilts. To find out more about Brenda you can visit her website at thimbletales.com

How to go about having a quilt appraised at our Festival:

You can fill out the form below and send it directly to Brenda and she will set up an appointment time. Walk-in appointments are also available. Note: she will only be at our Festival on Friday (3/22) and Saturday (3/23).

There are several items listed for sale on our Quilters Marketplace page. Check them out.🙂

See you tomorrow at our November Guild Meeting!

The member photo listing has been updated including all new members thru the August meeting. I am working on getting the missing photos. If your photo is missing, please feel free to send me (Donna Vandable) a “head selfie” via text at 912.713.0339 or email at vandable@att.net. Also, please notify me of any discrepancies found.

Bring a shopping tote bag (or two or three) to the Guild Meeting tomorrow morning and get ready to freshen up your stash! The tables are filled to overflowing with all sorts of goodies……notions, fabric, books, sewing machines and much, much more.

Just a reminder that sign-in is at 9:15 and the meeting begins at 9:30. The Yard Sale will begin after the meeting and Show and Tell. I know it will be tempting to start shopping immediately but please wait until Kim makes the announcement to Shop Til You Drop😄.
See y’all tomorrow!!
