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.

Here is the plan, will have a brief business meeting, a fun game called, Right, Left, Center and Show and Tell. For the game, bring about 8 - 5"-6" squares. If you don't have any, don't worry I am sure we will have some to share. Also, we will be making our plans for the Christmas Party. We may have a demo, could not firm up the plans, before the meeting. If you have a favorite holiday gift item you like to make, please bring the directions or the website information and a sample if you have one so we can share. Glenda sent a very nice one a couple of weeks ago, the Mug Rug. Let's see what we can dig up. See you there! Sorry for getting this out so late, this meeting, crept up on me!

Linda
