Quilter’s Message

Good afternoon!

I would like to get the instructions for the bead bags (?).   If I missed them, I apologize in advance!

Hi Everyone,
Are we ready for food, fun and Trains? Saturday is our July luncheon and games. Try to get there before ten so we can start the meeting on time. Our social time starts at 930. We’ll have the meeting, show and tell, then the luncheon with games. Lunch will be delivered around 1100. Don’t forget to bring your six – 2.5 by WOF strips for playing Left, Right, Center. Three strips any color, and three strips in a Christmas holiday color. If you were asked to bring a Train game, please don’t forget that. See you all Saturday. Kim

Hi Everyone,
It’s that time of year for the 2024 President’s Challenge reveal! My goal has been to come up with a challenge that all our members can participate in, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned quilter. The challenge is optional and it’s meant to be fun. You will have until the December Holiday luncheon, when everyone will reveal their Challenge projects.

This year’s challenge is “Your Birth Month Flower & Gem Stone Color”.

-It must have you birth month gem stone color in it. (a little wordy, I know) Enough that we can all see it in the back when you reveal it!
-It must have elements of your birth month flower in it. How you use your birth month flower is up to you. I.e. color, fabric pattern, a design element. Some months have two flowers…pick one or both, it’s up to you.
-You can make anything you want…a purse, a bag, zipper pouch, quilt, table runner, pillow…etc. Your project does need to be sewn by machine and quilting is optional. Use any kind of embellishments you want, i.e. applique, cross-stitch, fabric paint or embroidery, etc. Whatever you make must be larger than 8×10 inches, so it can be seen by everyone when we have our reveal.
So get those creative juices flowing. Challenge on! Kim

Hi, happy quilters! I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Due to special events, our dates at Lake Mayer are on Thursdays: July 11, and July 25. Both are 9-11 a.m. (also earlier and shorter times). Hope you can be there. We made lots of new kits with some new and donated fabrics. Pick one up at the guild meeting. Thank you, Debbie and Frances
