Quilter’s Message

Hi, all you sheltering ladies!

It was so good to see many of you during the Zoom SQG Meeting on the 9th.  What a fun way to feel connected even though we can’t meet in person right now.  Mary’s program was terrific!  What a relief that the Powerpoint Presentation she made works seamlessly with Zoom.

Good news has arrived today.  Gayl Glover has sent her new address and phone number in South Carolina and has been added to the website and the updated Membership List 2020.  The Membership List has a Portrait View and a Landscape View.  Just click on the one you want and download it to your computer or tablet.  (If you have any problems with clicking on it and it doesn’t show, turn off your pop up blocker or security settings just while you are retrieving the list.)

Please check your info in the Membership List to make sure that we have the correct information to contact you.

Also, Edyta Sitar has made a Sewing Studio Tour video of her personal (fabulous) sewing room.  Keep watching when you hear the music start near the end of the tour as she does a viewing of some of her quilts.  Sew lovely!

I’ve procrastinated finding a pattern for a baby shower quilt that needs to be done by the end of the month.  Does anyone have a pattern with a polar bear?  I’ve looked on line and couldn’t find anything I liked.

Has anyone else subscribed to the National Quilters Circle? They had a terrific price reduction to only $3 for a year. Now I get emails to upgrade for $6.99 a year to the GOLD membership.

It appears to be is a slick operation and not sure I can put up with constant communication.

Anyone have thought or experience with them?

Hello everyone!

The Presidents Challenge has been posted to our webpage. The details can be found under the Members Tab in the Guild Documents, Handouts and Links section. There is also a folder with some of my photos and some photos from the web that will hopefully give you some ideas of your own for making your Photo to Fabric challenge quilt. The quilts will be shared at our September Guild Meeting. Hope you have fun with this!!!

What a great meeting we had.  25 members joined us for  a virtual meeting on Zoom.  It was great to see so many of our quilting friends!

Theresa Sapp, our President, revealed the President’s Challenge for 2020.  The title is Photo to Fabric and you can guess what we will be making from that title.  The instructions can be found on the website – click here.

Mary Bass held a presentation on Triaxial Weaving that is on the website Programs page during our May Zoom Meeting. She used ribbon and/or fabric to make Tumbling Blocks. It creates a 3D effect and she makes it look easy. Hopefully, we will have a workshop in the future when we can meet at The Woods again.

If you have any difficulties getting on the website, please email me at SQGnews@gmail.com.

Happy Mother’s Day!
