April 12, 2022: April Tea and Installation of 2022-2023 Officers

4/11/2022

0 Comments

 
In addition to the usual ‘changing of the guard’, food, and drink Pam Kidd has asked a friend, Maureen Tritle, to do a wool themed trunk show!  She, along with more friends will explain how to work with wool, why it is so fun and how to do it economically.  They will show a variety of items ranging from quilts to needle cases.

Pam would like to encourage everyone to bring any wool items they have made to share at Show and Tell.

Pam will be introducing and providing kits for my Chairman’s Challenge at the Tea.  Unfortunately, the kits will only be provided to members who have paid their 2022-23 dues.  If you bring a guest, to avoid any embarrassment, please let them know.

If you can’t make the meeting or are late paying your dues…no worries!  Pam will be keeping a list so that everyone gets a kit!

Dues….
Dues are due at the April meeting. If you have not paid them yet you can either mail them to our P.O. Box, drop them by Patsy’s shop or bring them to the meeting.  

If your dues aren’t received at or before the April meeting you risk not being included in the directory.  New directories will be distributed at the May meeting.

Wool Garage Sale…
If you have any wool patterns, kits or wool that you would like to sell we are offering you an opportunity to do so at the Tea!  You will put a post-it (we will provide) with your name and the amount you want for your patterns and kits.  For fabric, please bring it with a note safety pinned on with your name and price.  We will watch over, collect the money, and settle up with you at the end of the Tea.

This is a great opportunity for you to purge a bit and help some one else start their wool addiction!

Of course….
We will have the usual 50/50, birthday drawing, show and tell, free table, collection of baby and community service items.

Also, please bring your Irish Chain with trapunto projects as we close out the Chairman's Challenge for 2021/2022

Rotary Cutter
6"x24" ruler

May 11, 2021 Meeting

5/16/2021

0 Comments

 
The 18 Ash Fork seniors visited us to show the quilts that they had chosen from the quilts that our members made. If you want to make quilts for next year’s students the minimum width and length should be 54x72, but 72x80 is better.

Dagmar Morgan from Turquoise Threads presented our program. She explained how she loved colors, started out knitting as a young girl and always wanted to own a yarn shop. Of course, other life matters got in the way and along the way she had gone to a quilt show. “Oh, what a lovely way to combine colors.” When Dagmar retired from her engineering job, she put together a business plan, looked for a location and Turquoise Threads was born. 
​
Turquoise Threads offers classes, an open sit and sew on Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and other exciting events. On June 12th you can buy a kit (2 patterns in 3 different color ways) which they will cut for you so that you can sit right down and begin sewing. Dagmar stated that her vision for the shop is to be a gathering place for all quilters.
