May Modern Bee Meeting and Reminder for the May Guild Meeting

The Modern Bee will be meeting again May 15 (1-4) at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr.).

We’ll be continuing our DIY Round Robin quilt project and this month concentrating on stripes. If you haven’t started this project yet just being a stack of fabric and your sewing machine and we’ll help you begin.

If you’ve already started your quilt:

 

 

Pillowcase project, May 2024

There was a lot of amazing work on pillowcases during April. We will meet at Lake Mayer to cut fabric to make up kits, or to sew pillowcases on the Fridays of May 17, 24, and 31st. The time is 10:00 to 2:00 so you can bring a lunch. Also, bring your machine if you are sewing.

We are always in need of fabric suitable for pillowcases (no glitter, please). If you have any to donate, please bring it to the guild meeting on May 11.

Also, if anyone is willing to help with washing, ironing, tagging and packing  pillowcases, please let Frances or Debbie know at the meeting.

Thank you for all that you are doing for the children at Children’s Hospital

Cake Mix Quilting for Project Linus

Hello Guild members!

On Tuesday, May 7, Sew Much More in Garden City is hosting an event to benefit Project Linus! Attendees will be provided fabric and a Cake Mix “Recipe Card,” and the squares will be made into a collaborative quilt for Project Linus.

Registration is free, but all attendees must RSVP by “purchasing” a space on their website: http://www.sewmuchmore.com/module/class/547022/cake-mix-for-project-linus

 

Hope to see you there!

Project Linus Coordinator

(P.S. I won’t be able to attend the May 13 Quilt Guild meeting, so if you have any donations you can drop them off at one of our collaborators: Joann’s, Sew Much More, Savannah Sews, and Blue Heron Stitchery in Bluffton)
