If I used plaids and stripes instead of florals? Well, I can't tell you what EVERY quilt would look like, but we can explore some practical examples together! In a fun format, we will compare quilts made in florals versus batiks, reproduction fabrics versus crisp modern prints, brights versus pastels. Gather inspiration and insight into the choices for your next project! Tamarinis website:
Our Guild members have the opportunity to meet every Thursday for a "Thursday Sewcial" at Mills Chapel Baptist Church from 10:00-2:00. It is a great time to share ideas and socialize while working on projects. Stop in any time and don't forget to bring a lunch. ** Note: The 2nd Thursday of every month will be dedicated to working on our Compassion quilts. Please join us.

Christmas Market
Due to the current Covid situation, the Christmas Fair has been cancelled for December 2021.
Hopefully, we will be back to normal soon, so in that wishful thinking, keep working on those Christmas items for next year.

President's Letter |

Goodbye to hot Summer and hello to fall. Fall is a great season, it is so full of colors that end up in our quilts, wall hangings and table runners. Fall allows us to enjoy the outdoors with its pleasant weather and still allows us time to sew.
With the changing of the seasons, I see a change in the guild. We are starting our daytime guild meetings this month on Sept. 20. We will be meeting on the 3rd Monday of the month from 11 am to 2 pm, with a break for lunch. Masks are optional, we will leave it up to you to decide. This month we have 3 members that will share their quilt journey with us. Thanks to Deborah Sweeney, Mandy Robinson and Sharon Hedrix for presenting their quilts and quilting projects. We still have empty positions for the Guild Board for 2022. We are still looking for these positions: President, Vice President Membership, Vice President Programs and Community Service. These positions will lead us into a new year of opportunity and serving our community. If the guild has no leadership, where will we be next year? Will we remain an active guild with programs or change to a friendship group? It is up to the members to decide on this. Our next Community project will be place mats for Meals on Wheels. We have lots of 5 inch squares if you would like to sew some into mats, Don't forget your Show and Tell projects. We will have a sign up sheet for the Christmas lunch. The price went up this year , so let us know if you would rather have a pot luck dinner at the church. The October 18th speaker is Claudia Wood, an Art Quilter.. See you at the guild meeting. JoAnn Schrepfer, President June Show & Tell
Charity Project: Bears for Rescue workers.Don't forget, we are making bears for our rescue workers to help comfort children.

Just a note about the Vet Quilt Program
Our program is still going strong, donation tops are coming in at a steady pace and to date I have 29 on hand. We made a delivery of 25 quilts in June and 22 quilts on the 28th of October. Our total donation for the Sharpsburg Piecemakers since 5 Feb 2014 is 462 bed quilts. Common Threads has also been donating quilts to this program and the combined total of Quilts donated to the VA is 647 quilts to date. I currently have 53 finished quilts on hand to donate when they are needed. Thanks to all of you, our program is still going strong and I look forward to things normalizing next year.
Happy Sewing,
Sue Williams
