Quilter’s Message

Hello, All. Hope you are enjoying this beautiful Sunday. Thank you once again for all your help with making pillowcases for the children at the hospital. A big shout out to the wonderful ladies from Richmond Hill who are making pillowcases and sending them to us through Julie Dobson. Our meeting dates at Lake Mayer are May 9, 23, and the 30th from 10 til 2. Bring you machine, sewing supplies and lunch. We have lots of kits. Happy sewing. Debbie and Frances

Kudos to Lisa Sims Steven’s for completing our beautifully updated Member Photo Directory! You can take a look now and put names with faces 🙂 This will be a great resource as our guild continues to grow and get to know one another. Lisa has spent many long hours completing this project and we appreciate her sew much!!
The Member Directory will be updated soon. I will let you know when it is posted so you can double check your information for accuracy.

Thanks again, Lisa, for all of your hard work!!

Just a note to remind everyone interested in modern quilting that the modern bee will be meeting this Wednesday afternoon from 1-4 at the Talahi Island Community Center (532 Quarterman Dr.).  This week we’ll be working on our Naedelstern fabric challenge quilts. If you weren’t around to get in on the challenge, don’t worry. we’ll have some fabrics for you to choose and get started. Or if you want to get started on another modern quilt, that’s fine too. Bring along your machine and some fabric and we’ll show you some of the things we’ve done in the past to get you started.

See you Wednesday.
