For those attending Retreat 2022, I need to mention (as I forgot) that we are bringing a Keurig coffee maker so please feel free to bring your own K-Cups if you wish.  Also, the Keurig will take hot chocolate cups if you so desire.  We of course will have the center’s coffee make available.  I have also requested the directions from St. Christopher to be sent Savannah Quilt Guild.com (hopefully tomorrow) so they can be posted to you.  Stay well, Laurel

Sandra will be greatly missed. She was talented, dedicated and willing to do the work that was needed.  Her quilting skills are greatly appreciated by me and, I believe, the rest of our group.  Another quilting angel.

Hi All,

During Saturdays’ class the conversation went to machine repair services within and/or near Savanah. Shortly after moving here in October, I read the ‘Penny Saver’ newspaper that so notoriously shows up on my laws and leaves the neighborhood so unsightly (in my area people don’t pick it up until its almost dissolved from the rain 😉 )…

I promised the ladies that I’ll post the repair service add I found in that paper and also provide the name and phone number of the place I took my machine to in Connecticut (I believe he still ships machines at the machine owners cost, of course).

The add I found is below. It seems this person started his businesses some time last year.

My Stitch Doctor, Statesboro, GA, 912-852-5283.   www.mystitchdoctor.com

they pick up and deliver!!!

The one I used in Connecticut (located in Danbury, CT) is called:

“A Stitch in Time”, Danbury, CT – 203-748-7283. The man that makes the repairs will not work on any machines that are not metal!! His father was a Singer dealership and Repair service and the son now does the repairs and as said he will only work on machines that are made of metal.  He has been preparing machines for over 40 years, starting as a teen in his father’s business. The repair guy’s bedside manners are a bit crude but he loves and treasures those machines. I cannot recall if he still ships machines (at the cost of the owner) but it is worth a try.
