Quilter’s Message

Saturday, the 10th, is our monthly meeting. Socializing starts at 930 and the meeting at 1000. We will continue to sign up this month for the Scrappy Applique Class on Friday, March 8th. Be sure to check out Shannon Brinkley and Katie Lewis’s websites to give you an idea of what the class will be about. The after-meeting workshop will be Lanette Edens talking about our Quilting Boo-Boos. She will accept anyone who decides on Saturday that they would like stay and attend. The cost is $20. And for those attending our annual retreat next Thursday, I hope you’ve started cutting and organizing!
Cindy Ochoa will be running the meeting for me this month. Thanks Cindy!

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).
