Saturday’s Luncheon and Games!

This Saturday is our Luncheon and Game Day meeting! We will start the meeting portion promptly at 1000, so give yourself plenty of time to sign in. This month starts the sign up for September’s full day class with Candyce Grisham.
We’ll start with a quick meeting, followed by games; lunch around 1100…followed by more games. With some prizes, of course! This meeting will NOT have Show and Tell, so we have more time to play and socialize. The August yard sale meeting WILL have Show and Tell.
This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know newer members. Let’s all make a new friend this Saturday! Kim

Project Linus Collaborative Quilts

Hello, Guild Members!

Thank you all for your support of Project Linus. Our recent Sew Day was a fantastic success (pictures below), and I have some fun projects to share with the Guild:

  1. Quilters can participate in a collaborative project and make a squares for a quilt top. The pattern for the blanket can be found here: https://suzyquilts.com/free-squared-quilt-pattern/ and dimensions for the individual block is attached below. It’s a simple 6″ square with a 3 1/2″ border on each side. Use a fun print for the center and a corresponding solid (or solid-ish) for the border!
  2. Take home Quilt Kits are now available! Fabric and patterns are provided and are prepared by guild member Paula. I’ll bring the kits to the guild meeting on Saturday. I’ll just need to get your name and contact information if you take one home. You can bring the completed tops to the guild meeting in August! If you’d like to quilt the top yourself that would be wonderful, or consider making a small donation to Project Linus to help offset the costs of quilting the tops professionally ($5 suggested).

Thank you all for sharing your talents with the community. You can reach me with questions at elliegrix@gmail.com

 

Sincerely,

Ellie Grix
