NO SHOW AND TELL THIS MEETING

From the President

I can only say this…. If you didn’t make it to the HQG show last month, ‘YOU MISSED OUT”…WOW!!!!! The talent in our joined communities is unbelievable, I believe even the judge was impressed with all of the talent. We applaud our own member, Judy Balance for a job well done.


Our booth was so cute and because of all of you who donated items to sell we made a grand total of $3441.00 (unless Susan has sold more). We need to thank Susan Yell- her wonderful supporting husband Bill for loading and transporting all our wonderful contributions, her team- Dee Dee, Leigh Hubbard, Tom and Phyllis Ramby, David, Lorna Vickers, Carolyn H. Kathy Cook, Danny and Rita Reese and all of you who helped with your time working in the booth. Hopefully I didn’t miss anyone but if I did let me know and I’ll hug you.


Big thanks to Judy Balance- the quilt she made and donated and was quilted by Patty Wilson and was won by our own VP- David O’Dell (actually his husbands name was on the ticket but he claimed it LOL)- congrats David. We raised $865.00 for the quilt. Thank You- Judy Balance


This month Susan Yell and Leigh Hubbard will hand out prizes for donations made and we will also be doing brown bag challenge. Please go bring your yard of preferred fabric and fill out your “Get to know me form” on the website – you have six months to create your surprise and will be giving back in October.

Please remember if you are interested in Sheri Cahill- at Three Hens and a Chick- pet portraiture class in May to call the store and sign up we need at least six people to get it private for our guild.


Hope to see everyone at the meeting-


Thank you,

Sonya O’Shields

Fabric Sale

A Charity Sale to benefit the police dept and the women's shelter will be held at:  27444 Juanita Drive (home of Vicki Kellogg), Athens, AL 

April 1 & 2 from 9 AM - 2 PM.

Includes fabric, precuts, modern fabric and sewing items. 

Vicki was a former owner of 3 Hens & A Chick (lots of items from going to market.)

Charity Quilts

We have donated our first 20 quilts to the Grandparents as Parents Organization. If you have any to donate, please bring them to the April meeting or contact me and I’ll be happy to pick them up. 


If you have any placemats for the Madison Senior Center, please bring them to the meeting. We already have 23 placemats. 


I talked with someone at the Huntsville Women’s and Children’s Hospital and she will gladly take pillowcases for their patients (infants up to 18 years old). They prefer to have the pillowcase without the accent piece. The pattern is attached. I’ll be accepting those throughout the year. So as you make them, please bring them to the meeting.

Susan Yell will be at the front door starting at 6 pm to receive your 1 yard of fabric, and and the Get to know me form. Click here to download your "Get to Know Me" form. Make sure you bring your form - they will not be available at the meeting


Susan said that they have the bags for the challenge and no one needs to bring a bag. All bags will be the same, so no possible cheating with someone marking their bag and knowing who picked theirs up!... Really that’s not the case but what if?
