August Guild Meeting & Guild Sew-in – Tuesday, August 12 Angela Huffman of Quilted Joy will join us for a lecture! Known best as the co-host of PBS’ Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting show, Angela's superpower is breaking down complex topics into approachable and whimsical bite-sized bits. We will also have show and tell for all our members quilts in the 2025 Petal Party Sew-along & Round Robin Challenge. This uses block patterns designed by Angela. Members will have a chance to vote for your favorite quilt during peer voting in the meeting. Angela will be hosting her Blue Ridge Love workshop the following day. September Guild Meeting – Tuesday, September 9 One of our great fundraisers for the year is back – the Basket Raffle/Quarter Auction! All members are invited to create and donate “baskets” of items to be auctioned off throughout the night! Baskets are made in all sizes and many themes from sewing, food, wellness, etc. This is a great fundraiser for the guild to support our various activities. Be sure to bring your quarters, basket, and be ready for a night of fun! From the Vice President & Workshops: The website calendar is updated through the end of the year. There is still space to join Angela’s workshop this month for only $60! Sign-ups are also open for a two-day workshop with the Redneck Quilter in October for only $45. For this month’s Blue Ridge Love Wallhanging workshop, you should have received your supply list by email. Need this or have any questions? Don’t hesitate to send me an email. Thank you, Debbie M., Vice President Quilts of Valor: The Veteran’s Day Block Drive has begun! Pick up a bag of scraps at the August and September meetings, then return them at the November meeting. You will be provided additional instructions with the bag of scraps. When you bring the blocks back in November we will put your name in a prize drawing!
