PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Hello Fellow Quilters,
It was nice to get together “virtually” at our February 11th meeting. We had a great presentation on color by our speaker Candace Hassen. Her work is beautiful and all those little pieces – wow, just amazing. Our March meeting will be our charity day and it is an “in person” meeting.
There is NO GUEST FEE for the March meeting.
The doors will open at 11am. We will begin set-up for the meeting at 10am, if you are not part of the set-up, please do not come in before 11am.
We will be selling fabric – the price will be $4 per yard and all proceeds go to the guild. I am told there will be lots of great fabric available for purchase.
We will have a coffee/tea snack area in the back as we did at the December meeting, where you can remove your mask and have a snack. It is OK to bring a snack food to share. However, please make sure that the items are individually wrapped. Please make sure you are wearing your mask any time you are in the main part of the church.
If you bring a sewing machine, please bring an extension cord so that you can plug in your machine. If you are not bringing a sewing machine, please bring a basic sewing kit so that you can tie quilts or sew on a binding. We will have some quilts on site that will require binding – they are for Freedom House and Project Linus. We will have an area for cutting and ironing and also tables lay out your quilt top, batting and backing. We will have SOME batting, bundles of fabric, UFO’s for the charity table, and fabrics that can be used for backings. If you have your own batting and backing for your charity quilt, please bring it in the event that we don’t have anything that will match your quilt.
In addition to our charity activities, we will also have First and Last Quilts, the Swap, Show and Tell, Block of the month, the Share Table and the monthly raffle. I hope to see everyone at the March meeting.
