She has done an amazing job serving the us, so we want to honor and thank her by making a beautiful collaborative quilt. Each member who wants to participate will make a block and sign your name with a permanent pen or embroidery stitch. Sandy Metzger has the focus fabric which she’ll distribute at the next two guild meetings. Completed blocks are due by the November meeting.

So, today is the first REALLY HOT day of summer that we’ve experienced this year. Like the old song goes…”roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer….” As I remembered that song, a little part of me thought, just skip the letter for July, take the month off, recline in the hammock, drink a cool drink and tell them to reread the last 6 months of my letters!! Well, I remembered that I don’t own a hammock, and wouldn’t be able to get out of it if I did…and I’ll
We had another successful Meet & Greet last Friday at the home of Amy and Laura Anderson. The hostesses were delightful, the new members were enthusiastic, a delicious assortment of food and drinks was served, and we covered all the information on the Guild from BOM to Sunshine. If you haven’t attended one yet, there will be another on August 16th.
Thinking about the comments on the way home, there is one that has come up every time we gather—a resounding agreement
What a fun time we had giving and receiving gifts! Not surprisingly, our creative sewists came up with a variety of projects from lap quilts to mini quilts to table runners to totes to a pillow.
