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:
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
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!
Ellie
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)
Hi Fellow Quilters,
I just learned that I had incorrect information on the fee payable for participation.
Please note that the fee to participate is a mandatory fee and it is $3.00 per day of participation.
Thank you.

Hello Fellow Quilters,
I am excited to let you know that a new quilt bee has been created, specifically for those of SQG’s Members that are actively in the workforce (part-time/ full-time) for whom it is very difficult to attend sewing activities that take place during the week.
With that being said, this quilt bee is now known as “Sew It Seams, Weekend Warriors” and meet for sewing/quilting on the 3rd Saturday of each month.
Our first meeting is scheduled for Saturday, May 18, 2024, 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
So far, this group consists of 7 Members and is open to SQG Members (no visitors permitted). To participate, kindly reach out to Regina Harris (email: harrisrgm@yahoo.com or phone/text: 203-837-0322 (please identify yourself when texting, otherwise I do not respond).
Note that this Bee is designed for Members that are in the work force.
Sew It Seams, Weekend Warriors
When: 3rd Saturday of the Month
Time: 1:00 P.M. – 4:00 P.M.
Where: Talahi Community Center, 532 Quarterman Drive, Savannah
Contact: Regina Harris
The Talahi Community requests that a participant makes a donation of $2.00-$3.00 per Saturday they spend the afternoon at the center.
Additionally, we are required to set-up and break-down the tables, leave the space cleaned (including removal of all garbage) and ready for the next group’s use.
There is a pressing mat available for fusible work and three large regular cutting mats, irons and ironing board(s).
And of course, you can bring your own small iron and cutting mat, and, not to forget, your sewing machine.
I am excited to meet with fellow quilters for an afternoon of sewing fun!
Regina
