Founded in 2005 by quilters who wanted to share their love of quilting with others, our guild's purpose was to promote appreciation and interest in quilting and to provide educational opportunities. Reimagined in 2023 -- The Sassi Stripper Stitchers meets every third Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m at the Jones Creek Library. Come and go during that time. Work on any kind of stitchery. Sharing, show and tell, and fellowship.

I thought you might enjoy a tutorial on making a hanging sleeve in light of the last show where hanging sleeves became an issue when we needed to hang the quilts. I don't normally put a hanging sleeve on my quilts that go on the sofa or those that go off as gifts. I assume they will never be hung. But it was important that a hanging sleeve existed when we went to hang quilts at the library during the show in August.
So my suggestion now is to go ahead and put a hanging sleeve on your quilts. It s easy to do. And you don't have to do what I did and put 7 hanging sleeves on in one night because at the last minute I realized I had no hanging sleeves! Aughhhhh!
Click on this link to take you to Penny's advice on how to put on a hanging sleeve. I tried to copy her article here but the pictures did not transfer so this is easier to do.
