Hello
Everyone,
Our
next meeting is next week, Tuesday, October 11, 2022, 9:30 am – 2:00pm. I hope
you can join us as we begin our new fiscal year. We accepted a change in
volunteer positions and have a new group keeping us organized and planning our
projects and activities for the next 12 months. It’s easy to join in and make
this guild what you would like it to be.
Dues
are now due. $50 for the Fiscal Year October 2022 -September 2023. This covers
our rental cost for the room each month and a few extras. There will not be a
fee at the door. Newcomers are welcome to come visit the first time. After that
we request they join as a member.
For
this meeting we have a wonderful original project being presented by Susannah
F. She has designed a sweet pumpkin mug rug for us to create and decorate our
Autumn tables. There is a photo and supply list below. Please bring your
machine and supplies and sew with us.
At
this meeting we are also continuing with our Community Service efforts. Please
bring any blocks you’ve made for the 2020 Community Service Quilt. There are
supplies available to make fidget quilts and would love to continue to donate
those to the Alzheimer facilities. There will be a silent auction of two or
three quilt tops from Eileen’s estate. Proceeds from the auction benefit our
community service efforts by providing batting and backings for community
service quilts. Also needed is quilting of already pieced tops. If you are willing
to do the quilting on a community service quilt, please let us know. We have
people that will do the binding, if you don’t want to do that step.
As
always we are most interested in seeing your Show and Tell. Please bring your
creations to share. We love to see what you’re working on now.
I
hope to see you on Tuesday.
May
your stitches be straight and true.
Blessed
Be, Holly P
