August Program reminder 8/14

Lisa Adams is our guest speaker for August Quilt Club Program:
“Something Old, Something New Again”. 
Lisa has a love for Civil War quilts, finding old fabrics or partial tops, re-purposing and adding to them with newer reproduction fabrics. She will show us some of her finds and her finished products. Hoping all who are in town can attend. (I am assisting my parents at the moment, so will miss, but I hope we can give Lisa a hearty welcome and a lovely evening.) Hope to see everyone soon.-Marcy

Missing Blocks

Thank you to everyone who made red/white/blue blocks and brought them to the July meeting.  For the past week I've been going nuts because I can't find the blocks. I remember stacking them up on the table at the end of the room - did I bring them home? Were they placed in our cabinet? Did someone else take them home? There was a lot going on that night and I'm hoping someone else has the blocks.

The directions for the blocks can be found Here

Quilts on Display

For several years we have filled the hallway to the Library at the Montpelier Center with a couple of quilts that will be given to veterans. We like to change the quilts every couple of months or so, and just hung these on Saturday. I don't get the best pictures in this short space by the door, so I've included close-ups so you can get some details of these great quilts.

 

Note to Calendar! August Sewing Days move to 3rd Friday/Sat

Thanks to everyone able to join us for our summer potluck! Such fun! To those on vacation, or with conflicting meetings - YOU WERE MISSED!

Pokey provided us with an alert from the Hanover County folks -- they are having a childrens' day camp during our usual 2nd Fri/Sat timeframe in August, and have provided us with with the following Friday/Saturday, so our new schedule for August:

Meeting date (regular) - August 14th, 7 pm

Friday/Saturday sewing days (NEW) - August 17th/18th

Hope to see many of you there..... another reminder will come out, closer to the dates.... Marcy
