Do Guild members have the ability to access David Hastings online videos?  I’m still a guild member but live in Atlanta now so can’t attend the workshop in person.

Hi, all. Frances and I are hoping you can stay after the guild meeting on Saturday to help cut fabrics for the pillow case project to benefit Children’s Hospital. We will be cutting 27″ by width of fabric.

You will need your large cutting mat, rotary cutter, and ruler or other measuring tool. We will bring fabric.

We will spend 1 to 1 1/2 hours max. Thanks. See you on Saturday, Debbie Whiteway and Frances Stockton

The Modern Bee will be meeting again on the third Wednesday afternoon of the month. Our next meeting will be 1-4 pm, Wednesday, January 17 at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr.). Everyone interested in modern quilting is welcome.
We’ll be having a workshop exploring a simple technique used in designing modern quilts. It involves starting with stitched paper models (called maquettes). This technique is based on the work of David Owen Hastings (check out his website).
The following supplies are needed for the workshop:
• A sewing machine (with a bright thread for the paper model and thread to match your fabric);
• A ruler, a rotary cutter, a scissors for cutting paper;
• A brown paper bag, and a few sheets of white paper and a little construction paper if you happen to have some handy.
• Fabric of your choice to make a small quilt based upon your paper model.

We can answer any questions you might have at the guild meeting this Saturday.

This is a quick reminder about Saturday’s meeting. At the meeting we begin our sign-up for the Scrappy Applique Class on Friday, March 8^th. If you haven’t done so, check out Katie Lewis’ or Shannon Brinkley’s websites. Cost of the full cay class is $75. We also will begin signing up for a workshop held after February’s meeting, taught by Lanette Edens. The cost for this is $20. Details for both the March 8 class and February workshop will be presented at the meeting.  And last, but not least, don’t forget your annual dues of $30 are due by the end of the month. See you Saturday! Kim

Keeping fingers crossed!  Posts that were created had issues sending to everyone.   I think that we are good to go and have tested the sending with good results.  The posts that did not go to everyone will be resent to all of you if this test post goes out without problems.

I appreciate your patience and hope that this did not cause you any issues!
