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.

Guild Birthday Celebration!!!!! |
|
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, and all fellow quilter! It is our birthday and I am so excited to share the news. We are planning an ice cream social/birthday celebration for our first gathering of a face to face meeting in a year and a half!!!
Some of you renewed your membership at the beginning of the year, some did not. I am sending this invitation to all members current and past in the hopes that those who have not renewed were waiting to get back to regular meetings, and we are so ready! We have missed seeing all of your smiling faces. We will meet at Mills Chapel Baptist Church, at 2:00pm, on Monday, August 23, 2021. Notice our new time. Most members were wanting a different time slot due to not being comfortable driving at night for meetings. We heard you, and hope that this works better for everyone. We will have ice cream and have prizes. We will play Left, Right, Center, so please bring 3 fat quarters with you. Also, please bring any show and tell items you may have. It has been a long time, and I know you have been working on many projects. Please RSVP so we know how much ice cream to get. See you soon and Happy Birthday everyone! Happy Sewing Michelle Fambro Date: 08/23/2021 (Mon.) Time: 2:00pm - 4:00pm EDT Location: Mills Chapel Baptist Church June Show & Tell

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
