From the President

“Many things aren’t equal but everyone gets the same 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We make time for what we truly want.”

Sometimes I feel there isn’t enough time to do what I want to do. Other times I can’t figure out what I want to do. Our lives are so crazy busy and the days and weeks seem to be flying by.

The vote to move back to Madison for our guild meetings was taken last month and January 2023 we will start meeting in Madison. Location will be announced at this month meeting. I have heard so many people say how much they enjoyed the fellowship at dinner before the meeting, and how they felt like it was a time to get to know other people so much better. I hope everyone will still get together and continue to do that.

This Saturday, October 1, 2022 is The Madison Street Festival. If you signed up to help, I look forward to seeing you, if you are attending, please stop by and say hello- we will be under the roundhouse with quilts on display. Thanks everyone who brought me quilts to use.

This month we will not have show and tell, because we will be bringing our completed items to give back to each person for the paper bag challenge. If for some reason you didn’t get yours finished, please get a $50.00 gift card for that person. If you can't attend the meeting, please mail or email the gift card to the person you were sewing for.  Super excited to see what everyone created.

If you know of someone who isn’t comfortable driving or just needs a ride to the guild meeting, please let me know. I believe there are enough of us who could offer to pick someone up.

Thank you,

Sonya O’Shields

Hello everyone, remember the big reveal is coming up in October. Please don’t forget to bring your treasure for your recipient OR have a friend bring it for you. We will ask you to give the recipient a $50.00 gift card if you forget to bring it…I know you won’t though! You will be given a number when you come in, please don’t forget to pick one up. This will be fun, so can’t wait to see all the gifts!!!

The Madison Street Festival will return on Oct 1, 2022 9 AM - 5 PM - stop by and visit us at the Roundhouse. Through the magic of all things internet - here are a couple of photos from our location at the festival.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated a quilt, volunteered to quilt them, and to those who donated fabric. It is all very much appreciated. The children have loved the quilts.

It’s getting close to the end of my time for handling charity quilts. At the August meeting, Charity quilt kits were handed out and then we had a Charity Sew Day. I need to get the completed quilt tops back by the October meeting so I have time to get them quilted and bound.

If you will not be at the meeting, message me and we can make arrangements to get them.

Quilters Needed

If you have a long arm and would like to help quilt the charity quilts, let me know. I already have four volunteers, but a few more would be helpful to get them done quickly. Once I get the tops back from the kits, I’ll have about 15, so the extra help is needed.
