I've added the Teddy Bear Pattern as a separate tab on our blog. You can see the link next to the Home button above. Or here is the direct link:
Teddy Bear Pattern
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.

you plan to finish) to take part in UFO contest to see who can finish the most this year. Show your
finished projects at Show & Tell. There may be a prize at the end of the quarter!
She also issued a challenge to members to make an 8” block(s) - 8.5” unfinished - that represents
SSQG. Please make a block(s) & bring to this or March meeting. A vote by private member ballot will be
taken for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place. All blocks will be on display at our quilt show in August.
Renee will begin her program which will interest everyone. We will look forward to what she has to share.
Betty has volunteered to be in charge of door prizes. Please feel free to follow her lead & pitch in when
ever you wish to help with something…
There may be items in your quilt treasures you will never use or no longer wish to keep. You might wish
to donate them to our door prize collection. Door Prizes are given at every meeting.
See each of you this Thursday nite.! Looking forward to seeing & hearing what you are working on &
What you might like the rest of us to know about or do.

Tabs - Betty Braud
Betty Braud is the quilt guild contact of this charity
project. Just remember when you pop a
top pull the tab and collect them to bring to a meeting. I have family members
saving them for me. We are giving them to the reopened New Orleans McDonald’s
house. Note: You all know my sister in Monroe had been
delivering our tabs to the McDonald’s House in Monroe, LA. A member of her church saw her saving tabs
and asked why. My sister now has her
church saving tabs for the house.

teddy bears to donate for the Children’s Hospital.
