Special Events
Alice Sue Becker is our guild coordinator for special events.
What's coming for 2019;
Book Sale
Our library book sale that was postponed because of the February weather will be held at the March meeting. Books range from free up to $10 for the newest books, with most in the $1- $2 range. The loss of our library is a sad event, but you can help us make lemonade from lemons
and add to your home library by buying these books at a fraction of their cover prices. You will be helping your guild and helping yourself score some good deals on books!
Sip, Swap and Sew:
It’s time for another Triple S - Sip, Swap and Sew - to welcome Spring! Please bring a sewing or quilting item that you’d like to “rehome” to swap, an appetizer or dessert to share and any handwork on which you’re working. It will be from 6-9 p.m., Tuesday, March 19th at Alice Sue Becker’s house. The address is 1213 Millstone Court, St. Cloud, MN 56303. Please RSVP to Alice Sue at horsebeck@gmail.com, or there will be a sign up sheet at the March meeting. Please come and join the fun!
Collage Applique Class
This class will be held on 2 separate Tuesday evenings; April 30th and May 7th from 5-9 pm at Salem Lutheran Church in St. Cloud. Melanie Schatz-Pattay will be teaching this technique so that participants will be able to create a vibrant wall hanging either from a kit or from your own
pattern and fabric. Kits are available from Gruber’s and she recommends starting with either the “Fiona the Featherweight” kit by Joan Cain, which makes a 28.5” by 27” wall hanging and costs $57.50 or “Pincushion” which measures 41”x 45”. The “Pincushion” pattern is $30.25. A kit is
yet to be developed for this pattern. Other kits are available, however, and you may choose what you’d like to make. The class is limited to 20 participants. The fee will be determined soon and announced at the March meeting. There will be a sign-up sheet at the meeting, too.
President’s Challenge:
The challenge will be to “blindly" choose 2 color crayons, to make a quilt from those 2 colors. You can add one other color to it, making a three-color quilt. I hope everyone will participate and choose a bag of crayons. Finished size of quilt is 24" by 24".
