Quilter’s Message

Sun surf and fun is the theme of July’s quilt meeting. Here are a couple of important reminders:

Check in at the front table with Jan if you haven’t paid your $5 yet

If you have paid your $5 she will have your 5 tickets for the boardwalk games.  You will definitely want to check out the boardwalk games for a chance to win prizes

Don’t forget your (6) 2 1/2 in by wof strips in beach designs or colors for left right center games

if you have a Mexican train game please bring it so everyone can play. Don’t worry if you don’t know how it’s easy to learn

Please don’t forget the side dish or food you have signed up to bring

Dress Code is beach or boardwalk style or colors  no bathing suits 😎

And most important  get ready for laughs, getting to know the people in the guild and make new friends

What to know:

This exhibition is on our “don’t miss” list for the summer.

Parking is available nearby and on the street.

There are some nice places nearby to have lunch before or after your visit.

Gees Bend Quilt Collective, Alabama, is an organization of African American quilters who quilt in traditional patterns/styles and methods, as passed down from enslaved Africans to the generations that followed. This is a first exhibit for the current generation of quilters.

Where has June gone?! It was fun but went by way too quickly. I hope you were able to grab a bit of fun sewing time. We received a nice number of pillowcases at the guild meeting. Thank you. Frances and I will be working on pillowcases at Lake Mayer on Thursday July 3rd and Thursday the 31st from 12:30- 3:30 (note the change to Thursdays and later time). If you need help or want to learn, we will be available. There is also sewing/ quilting time scheduled for July 10th and the 17th from 10 til 1. As always we appreciate your commitment and hard work to brighten the days of sick children.  Debbie Whiteway 804-513-9658. wahoodeb@gmail.com

Hi, Quilters,

A few quilters asked that I record Emily’s program on Patchwork quilting.  There are two videos due to my poor videoing skills!  They are posted to the Picture Gallery on the website.  I’ve included the links in this post also.  Hopefully, everyone that missed the meeting can view it.

Here is a link to view it:
