Join us for a fresh approach to quilting!  Simple, flexible and appropriate for all sewing levels.  Let’s play with beautiful fabric that, once collaged together, will create a really striking and modern look.  While the class will detail what you need to know to complete the Around the World quilt top, participants may choose to work on this or another of Shannon’s Scrappy Bits Appliqué templates.   Templates may be purchased the day of the workshop from Shannon, or ordered/downloaded and printed beforehand from her website, www.Shannon-brinkley.com .  

 

We are going to have a blast!  Will you be there?

WELCOME 2016

MEETING TONIGHT!!! 

Just a quick reminder that the first meeting for 2016 is tonight (1/26) at 6:30 pm at Southfork Recreation Center. Remember our policy is Forsyth Tech's weather policy. But please remember to be safe:) Hope to see everyone there!

Show and tell should be great with the recent snow days and Muriel will be doing a demonstration on Zentangles. We have an exciting year ahead with visits from Shannon Brinkley, Emily Herrick & Carolyn Friedlander!!

As a reminder, Ann Monroe will be collecting 2016 dues -- $25 for the year. 

November Meeting Next Tuesday, November 24

Our annual holiday party social is next Tuesday, November 24! As usual, we will meet at South Fork Community Center at 6:30 PM. You can bring a salty or sweet snack; the guild will provide paper products and drinks. Also remember, bring a handmade holiday item for the swap. Participation is voluntary, so if you bring something, you get something! Handmade ornaments, tablerunners, potholders and other small holiday decor is appropriate. 

It's also time to renew your membership. Dues are $25 per year. This includes all the benefits of the national membership, such as webinars and challenges. It also includes our local guild activities. We will have a drawing for a fat quarter bundle for everyone who renews their membership at the November meeting.

See you there!
