Special Events
Alice Sue Becker is our guild coordinator for special events.
What's coming for 2019;
Sip, Swap and Sew:
It’s Triple S time again! With summer waiting on our doorstep, I think it’s time to open MY front door to welcome our Guild friends for another Sip, Swap and Sew. If you haven’t attended one yet, please consider coming to just spend an evening with friends eating, sipping a glass of wine (or non- alcoholic beverage) visiting, laughing, sewing and having a swapping good time!
This time the swap will be a helpful one. Please bring your favorite sewing tip to share with the group and a NEW non- quilt item to share with our community project partner, Pockets of Love. It can be anything they could use, such as a backpack, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, combs or a toy, etc. I will pass them on to our service project coordinators for distribution.
WHERE: Alice Sue Becker’s house-
WHEN: Tuesday, June 11th from 6:00-9:00 p.m.
WHAT TO BRING: An appetizer or dessert to share, your favorite sewing tip, an item to help Pockets of Love serve children as they enter foster care, and any hand sewing or handwork on which you’re working.
I will have a Service Project quilt loaded on the Handi-Quilter if anyone wants to try their hand at meandering on the mid-arm, too! It’s fun, and it’s a good way to get some of these project quilts finished and sent to where they will do the most good.
I hope to see you on June 11th at Triple S! In the meantime, happy quilting. Please RSVP to Alice Sue Becker by June 10th. There will also be a sign up sheet at our June meeting.
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".
