Question about National Quilters Circle

Has anyone else subscribed to the National Quilters Circle? They had a terrific price reduction to only $3 for a year. Now I get emails to upgrade for $6.99 a year to the GOLD membership.

It appears to be is a slick operation and not sure I can put up with constant communication.

Anyone have thought or experience with them?

Presidents Challenge

Hello everyone!

The Presidents Challenge has been posted to our webpage. The details can be found under the Members Tab in the Guild Documents, Handouts and Links section. There is also a folder with some of my photos and some photos from the web that will hopefully give you some ideas of your own for making your Photo to Fabric challenge quilt. The quilts will be shared at our September Guild Meeting. Hope you have fun with this!!!

Savannah Quilt Guild May Meeting

What a great meeting we had.  25 members joined us for  a virtual meeting on Zoom.  It was great to see so many of our quilting friends!

Theresa Sapp, our President, revealed the President’s Challenge for 2020.  The title is Photo to Fabric and you can guess what we will be making from that title.  The instructions can be found on the website – click here.

Mary Bass held a presentation on Triaxial Weaving that is on the website Programs page during our May Zoom Meeting. She used ribbon and/or fabric to make Tumbling Blocks. It creates a 3D effect and she makes it look easy. Hopefully, we will have a workshop in the future when we can meet at The Woods again.

If you have any difficulties getting on the website, please email me at SQGnews@gmail.com.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Piper is Moving

Just wanted to give the guild an update on our family. We are still in Savannah as of now. We have sold our house and are closing on it at the end of the month!! We have movers coming on the 18th so now we are in the process of getting rid things. I am thankfully able to take most of my sewing room. I am not able to take liquids or pressurized cans so I have put an ad up on the Ad page, take a look. I’ll take any offer. I had more stuff for the take it table so that stuff will have to go into storage I guess. If any wants to look at the bag contents let me know. We can meet somewhere next week. Jack and my husband Josh are doing great and excited to be moving overseas. I’ll hopefully see ya’ll on the Zoom meeting this Saturday. I’ll send out an update on when we are actually leaving when I find out. Happy sewing. Piper
