The September Block of the Month instructions have been posted. Thanks to Emily Robertson Hood for this fun monthly project!!!

Don’t forget! If you took a Quilt Kit at the July meeting, please bring the pieced top to the guild meeting tomorrow, September 9! We’ll be assembling the tops into quilts at our Quilting Day on September 30. RSVP here if you want to join us! https://forms.gle/k2puiqzik8JwduJY7

Also as a reminder: Project Linus can only accept quilt tops when the materials have been provided by our chapter funds (i.e. the quilt kits and projects made on Sew Days). We cannot accept any other donated quilt tops due to limited funding and supplies.

E-mail me if you have any questions: elliegrix@gmail.com

We have one member unable to attend tomorrow’s Dresden Class. If you are interested in taking that spot at no charge, please let me know immediately. First call gets the class.

Get your fabrics out and join us for Candyce Grisham’s Reimagined Dresden Quilt Block Class this Friday at the Southside Baptist Church.  Please arrive at 9:30 so that you will have time to set up your sewing station and meet your fellow classmates.  Wear your name tag so we can put names to faces.  We have a member from South Carolina Quilt Guild joining us so please be sure to make her feel welcomed.  You should also plan to bring water, snacks and a lunch.

If you need a copy of the student supply list, drop me an email or text me and I will get it off to you.  Candyce is bringing her book and rulers for sale both on Friday and Saturday.

We ask that you help with the clean up at the end of class.  We need to pack up all our personal supplies and the guild’s supplies (power chords, irons and ironing table, cutting mat, etc) As well as putting the chairs and tables back in place. It takes a village to have a good time! Enjoy your day with Candyce.
