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.

March Meeting -- 3/16/17
Good
evening ladies,
I
am forwarding to you all the minutes from our Feb. meeting and the
first set of instructions for the Mystery Quilt. Please review
the minutes and let us know if there are any changes.
Our
next meeting is this coming Thursday,
March 16. I am happy to say that Paula Toups will be our guest
speaker. She will do a trunk show and tell us how she got into the
design business and circuit teaching. It should be a really
interesting program.
Mynan
will give us our next instructions for the Mystery Quilt. I can't
wait to start cutting and (?)sewing.
Some
of our members would love to "just do it" and take a field
trip to what I hear is a fabulous quilt shop in Gautier, MS. We
might be able to make additional stops in Slidell and Abita Springs.
Think about it.
We
will discuss it Thursday.
Look
forward to seeing you guys. I missed you all last month!
Sharon

Giving Quilt Show. Approximately 600 quilts were on display and our
member Betty Braud received an Honorable Mention for her quilt
“Crayons”.
GSQA
opportunity basket that was mention at last month’s meeting was
discussed. Membership declined to participate because it was felt
that we did not need the funds that would be generated and that it
would be difficult for such a small guild to collect items for it.
Seminar is March 15-18th.
6.
New business- Mynan handed out beginning instructions for a Mystery
Quilt (attached to minutes) that will start next month. It’s a
Debbie Caffrey pattern called “Sew What?” Mynan brought her
fabric selections for this quilt to give us an idea of what we may
need to look for when selecting material. Step 1 will be handed out
in March, Step 2 in April, and Step 3 in May. Hopefully, some of our
members can have this quilt completed in time for this year’s quilt
show.
