Chatham Quilters

June 2007

 

 

At our Tuesday, June 5^th morning meeting, we will be presenting the quilts to the members of the Mathis family.  You are welcome to bring snacks to share.  Coffee/tea will be provided.

 

Once again we’ve arranged for a bus to the Jacksonville Quilt Show.  The date is Thursday, September 20^th – the cost is $24 (which includes your entry to the show).  At this great price we need to fill every seat, so if you’re interested, get in touch with Joy Lynch ASAP (lynch@thevillages.net ).  Seats are filling up fast, but unless we fill the bus, the remaining seats will be offered to other guild chapters.  See www.quiltfestjax.com for additional info about the show.

 

Plans are already under way for next year’s quilt retreat, on April 1-3, 2008.  We need ideas for classes, so if there’s anything you’d like to learn, or if there’s anything you can teach, let Joy Lynch or Kay Hasson know (or drop Joy an email at lynch@thevillages.net )

 

Villages Quilting Guild – June 5
* The monthly meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Laurel Manor.  The topic for this meeting will be Christmas in June.  Several gift ideas will be demonstrated.  Everyone attending will receive handouts with instructions, and also some kits will be available for purchase. 

 

Upcoming classes:

* Scheduled for the fall, Maureen Girardin will be teaching a sweatshirt jacket class.  You can see a picture of the jacket (it’s gorgeous!), along with the supply list, on the guild’s website at www.thevillagesquiltguild.org.

 

* Ilga has kindly offered to teach the easy angle quilt class once again if there is an interest.  This is a multi-session class (a different block each session) and will probably take place some time in the fall, either at our weekly meeting or at Saturday classes.       Please let Ilga know if you are interested in doing this quilt.
