September: Community Quilts Workshop. So you REALLY like to sew! Our guild excels at service to the community. We love to do our own quilting, but an afternoon of quilting with friends is awesome! Are you good at rotary cutting, want to sew a quilt back, piece blocks, tie a quilt, or maybe be a member of the ironing or un-sewing team? We look forward to seeing you. You can bring your own machine or use one of the guilds'. How about bringing a light snack? October: Sunny Malesky lecture and two workshops. Marya Diaz is signing up members for these workshops now. Hurry if you want to attend because they will be opened to the public. November: Amy Goodhart will share her extensive collection of antique quilts and their histories. The Fairchild Gardens Ramble is also this month. The guild will have a booth for community outreach and sales. December: We will have an end of year celebration. Gerry will be collecting the Mystery quilts from those that will like to donate them. If you decide not to donate what you made that will be alright too, but bring them to show all the members. Fabric choices are up to you, we will see how different they all will be, while enjoying each others company.
