September Show and Tell -- Charity Quilts

 

September Meeting

 

Hello our talented beauties,

Hope we find all of you well and enjoying some kind of crafting!  We are having our Sassi Stripper Quit Guild Meeting at the Jones Creek Library on Thursday, September 15, 2022 at 6:30pm.  I will be filling in for our precious President, Sharon Holder at the meeting. 

Last month it was such a pleasure to work on the bears and for everyone to be able to visit with each other.  We accomplished so much with the bears at the August Meeting.  Several members also took some home to work , you ladies are fantastic! 

We will be having a very special Presenter for our September Program.  She is just as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside.  Her talents are unlimited and her skills are impeccable.  Gayle Souleaux will be demonstrating, “Crochet Rag Rugs” for us.  We are so excited to learn and see this technique! 

So bring your UFO’s, Tabs, Bears , Show n Tell and join us for  some fun, creativity and fellowship!

Humbly yours,

Sharon and Pam

August Meeting

 

Hello our talented beauties,

We hope all of you are well and have been able to get some quilting in!

We will be having our Sassi Strippers Quilt Guild Meeting at the Jones Creek Library on August 18, 2022 @ 6:30pm.   

I will be filling in for our fabulous President, Sharon Holder, due to company she has coming in. 

We want to thank our one and only, Cheryl Myers, for an amazing July program where she demoed the Pineapple Ruler by Gyleen Fitzgerald.  This technique was so inspiring, everyone loved the blocks and quilts Cheryl presented to us.  I think quite a few will be trying this technique, it looked so fun! 

Our program for August is Bears, Bears, Bears Social!  We will be working on our charity bears while having some social time.  We will be stuffing bears, sewing butts, drawing faces on them, putting on ribbons and hearts.  So all hands on deck, bring a sewing needle, neutral color thread, your stick to stuff with and a pair of scissors.  So come on, bring your tabs, projects, UFO’s, show-n-tell and join me for some creativity, fun, laughs and fellowship!

Humbly yours,

Pam Tennyson & Sharon Holder
