Quilter’s Message

Hi, happy quilters! I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Due to special events, our dates at Lake Mayer are on Thursdays: July 11, and July 25. Both are 9-11 a.m. (also earlier and shorter times). Hope you can be there. We made lots of new kits with some new and donated fabrics. Pick one up at the guild meeting. Thank you, Debbie and Frances

The Closure of Savannah Sews of Pooler

This comes with a very heavy heart that Savannah Sews of Pooler will be closing our doors at the end of July. Dan and I have decided to pursue other positions which will not allow our continued support of the retail shop.

We are currently looking for a buyer for the shop and could use your help to find the perfect person(s) to carry on Savannah Sews. Please share with anyone you know who may be interested in owning a quilt shop in an extremely supportive community. We believe there is someone perfect out there for this wonderful business and we want to hear from you.

If unsuccessful in selling the shop, we will enter a store closing period.  Please watch for an announcement of upcoming special sales events.

Hello everyone!!  July is almost here and so it the monthly newsletter!

I will see you at the luncheon…Joanne

Hey Quilters! At the July 6 Make-A-Blanket Day event for Project Linus (sign up below!) I’m going to sell some three-yard packs and quilt kits to raise funds!

The fabric packs and kits will be a $10 donation each. Even if you can’t stay for the Fleece Blanket event, feel free to stop by and peruse what I have for sale. I also have some Villa Rosa pattern cards that I’ll throw in for free with each purchase!

I just came back from the Project Linus Retreat in Kansas City and I have a lot of great ideas from the coordinators I met there. Stay tuned, and thanks so much for your support!

Project Linus of Savannah is having a make-a-blanket day on Saturday, July 6 at 10:00 am. Instead of sewing quilt tops, we will be making fleece blankets. We are making them in two styles: “no sew” fringed fleece, and blankets with a crocheted border. Supplies needed and other information in the link above!

We are still signing up for the July Luncheon and Game Day. Lunch will be provided by Chicken Salad Chick and the cost is $15 per person. Signups will continue until June 22nd. You may send your payment to Jan Howard. Her address and other pertinent information can be found on the website. Kim

The Appliqué Bee will meet Tuesday June 25 1-4 at the Center Parc Credit Union community room located 5698-A Ogeechee Rd Savannah.  We will be working on Hawaiian quilt block and 2 Fabric Appliqué quilts.  The supply lists are on the website under SQA Bees.  Those who do not wish to do these projects are welcome to bring other handwork projects.  Any questions contact Judy Lindsey at 352-263-6865 or judithalindsey@gmail.com
