From the President

“Creative People don’t have a mess, they have ideas

lying around every-where!”

Summer is here, vacations, cook outs, swimming, and a new grandson.

I have several projects started but none finished, I guess I would rather be outside than in my sewing room.

We are so excited to have Nancy Roelfsema coming back to speak to our guild this month. She will be doing two classes at Southern Charm- Friday- New York Beauty and Saturday- Painting on fabric- I’m super excited about it and look forward to being there on Saturday. We are planning on taking her out Friday night possibly if she’s up to it and if anyone wants to join us let me know.

I hope everyone is working on the paper bag challenge or at least thinking about it.

Hope to see everyone at the meeting- until then keep on creating messes….

Madison Street Festival Returns

After a two-year hiatus, the Madison Street Festival will return on Oct 1, 2022. Madison Station Quilters traditionally displays quilts at the Roundhouse in downtown Madison during the festival. This year will be no exception. The Madison Historical Society has reserved our spot and we need your help. We need lots of quilts to hang on display and we also need volunteers to be present in the Roundhouse on that Saturday and just talk to people about quilts, quilting and our guild.

Charity Quilts

Thank you again for the 16 quilts for the Grandparents as Parents Organization and 123 pillowcases for the Women and Children’s Hospital. They were much appreciated. You all are amazing!

Please continue to bring in your quilts, either totally finished or top only. I have long armers to help me quilt the tops.

Stay tuned for the Charity Quilt Sew Day which looks like it’ll be in September now. I’m cutting up quilt kits from donated fabric. And David will be cutting some 2 1/2” strips from his stash. On the Sew Day all you’ll need to bring is your machine and thread, scissors and whatever else you think you’ll need. Each kit I cut will have the pattern and fabric. Just grab a kit and start sewing. If you have a favorite 2 1/2” strip pattern, bring it.
