Hi all,

I could not make it to the August meeting to pick up some brown bags for the UFO exchange so I am trying to find out how I can get a hold of a couple of bags.

Does anyone know who has the remaining bags or is holding them, so I can pick some up before our September meeting?

Ready to transform two neckties into a unique and useful zipper pouch? Join us for “Knot Just a Pouch”, a hands-on workshop where we’ll quilt, sew, and finish your very own memory pouch—just in time for holiday gift-giving (or treating yourself!).

Sign up in August or September & pick up your kit at the September meeting

• When: The workshop will be right after our October Guild meeting on Friday, October 11
• Cost: $20
• FREE Kit Includes:
  • Two coordinating men’s ties with fusible backing
  • Iron-on fleece
  • Zipper
• You Bring:
  • Your sewing machine & neutral thread (A medium grey/blue is usually a good choice here)
  • One piece of lining fabric from your stash. A fat quarter is plenty big.
  • You may also want to include additional coordinating fabrics from your stash. For this you can mix cotton with silk, or any other fabric you like.
  • A plan for how you want to piece the exterior—bring sketches, favorite block templates, or simply cut your strips in advance!

Workshop Thought Starters:

• Mix It Up: Front and back panels can be different—mix blocks, simple strips, or improv piecing.
• Community & Creativity: We’ll quilt, sew in the zipper, and finish the pouch in class
• Practical Pouch: Perfect for hand-work projects, chargers, quilt supplies, travel essentials, or even your phone and glasses.
• Upcycle with Purpose: Give new life to those ties you’ve been saving—and carry your memories wherever you go.

How to Reserve Your Kit:

1. Sign up with Terry Duncan at the August or September meeting.
2. Pay $20 and choose from our selection of pre-made kits (available for pickup at the September meeting)—each one features two different tie fabrics, so pick a combo that speaks to you!

Don’t miss your chance to participate and create a one-of-a-kind zipper pouch.

Hello,  I made the signs for the tables but I won’t be there this weekend because my daughter is getting married Saturday.

I was hoping to find a Pooler member who plans to attend Saturday that would take these signs to the meeting.  They are not large (9x 11) and very light, I just hoped someone would take them for me.

Please call 912-266-6831 if you can help!
Thank  you so very much!
