Happy Monday!!
In fairness to all of our quilters, each pillowcase entered into the competition for the Yazzii bag should be made by a single person. Teams are welcome to make pillowcases for the hospital, but not to be entered into competition under one name for the bag. Thank you so much for your generosity and hard work for the children. It makes a scary time a little bit easier for them. Debbie
Due to issues with bathroom repairs at Lake Mayer, we will not meet to sew pillowcases. I hope this doesn’t cause any inconvenience. Thanks, Debbie

Hi, All! We will be meeting again at Lake Mayer Community Park on Feb. 2, and Feb 9 at about 10:00 to sew pillowcases. The park is at 1850 Montgomery Cross Rd. We are in the second small building on the right after you pass the tennis courts. Bring your machine and supplies and we will supply the kits. We have a lot of fun! Debbie and Frances
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).
One of our guild members, Donna Vandable, has recently started chemotherapy. Her family has been coming to Savannah and taking turns to be by her side and help her. Donna doesn’t have much space for her family. She has asked if anyone in the guild might have, or know of someone, who has a room for her sister and brother-in-law to rent. If anyone has any possibilities, please call Donna and she can discuss details with you.
Donna’s phone number is (912) 713-0339.
Her email is vandable@att.net.
