June 24
– We will be having our guild picnic. The guild is furnishing the meat
and the refreshments people are doing drinks. You will need to bring a
salad or side dish if your name starts with the letter A-M and a
dessert if your name starts with N-Z. Also, please bring a serving spoon for your dish if needed. Terri Garner from Country Quilts will do a short talk on the newest quilt gadgets.
July 22
– Judy Laquidara, author of "Nine-Patch Extravaganza" will do a trunk
show titled "Trunk Show". She will bring and discuss the interesting
aspect of quilts which may include borders, sashing and coloring of the
blocks. Judy is also willing to do a workshop on "Topsy Turvy Nine Patch" (found on her Website www.sunshinequilts.com
under patterns). The cost would be $20.00 per person and a $5 pattern
charge at the workshop. We would need to have 18 people signed up and
paid to do this. If interested email or call Sherry, check your
membership book for Sherry's info. Another of Judy's websites to

click on quilt patterns for a lot of free patterns - Carol's
favorite is the "sunrise star" that we did several years ago as the
block of the month. I've also it with red, white, and blue
fabrics.
Send me your
tips and suggestions. We
can all use a
little help at times.
Carol –
Newsletter, members please get my email from your book.
Theme
for June is “Going to the Chapel”.
Hope
everyone makes a block!!! This
is your chance to step outside what you
might normally do and try something new.
Sometimes blocks may seem challenging, but
it’s good to learn something
new. Trying new
blocks will build your
confidence to make more challenging blocks and quilts.
Reminder: If
you’re participating in the “Brown Bag” project, at the June
meeting, you need to turn in your brown bags
with the third (final) border on. The brown bags will be revealed.
If you
have checked out Library Books, please
remember to bring them back!!!!!!
If
you know of a guild member who is sick or has had a death in the
family, please call the secretary of the guild and let her know so
she can send a card. The current secretary is Pat Barlow. Please
call her on her cell phone as listed in our membership list.
FALL
RETREAT NEWS
It's
soon going to be FALL and time for some serious sewing,,,,,Not that
we don't all sew all year round. But Fall is always the time of year
that everyone cranks it into high gear for special gifts from the
heart. A lot of that sewing gets done at our annual Fall retreat. As
you know, the recent tornado did quite a bit of damage to the Ozark
Campground and Retreat. Since we are not sure exactly when they will
be up and running again, it was decided by the board to have a
one-day sewing retreat instead of the usual weekend.
The
retreat will be held at the Galena Community Room on
Oct. 11th from 9am to 9pm.
Since it will last all day we will need to eat!!!!!!! Everyone needs
to bring their own beverage and a side dish to add to the meal. A
sign up sheet will be passed around to make sure we don't end up will
all desserts or all dips.
At this time, I am not sure
if a kit will be offered. Since the retreat is only one day we
may not want to take the time away from our regular sewing. That
will be brought up at the next meeting to see what everyone would
prefer to do. If a kit is offered, it will need to be paid for
in advance.
The Galena Community Room is easy to find.
Starting from Joplin, take 7th St. west to Galena.
Stay on 7th and go straight thru Galena's one stop light,,,,,the
crosswalk at the school does NOT count!,,,,,and continue straight
for 1 1/2 blocks. The Community Room is on the right in the same
building as the Fire Dept. and Police Station. There is a big parking
lot in the front of the Municiple Building. You can't miss it.
It
will be lots of fun. And did we mention DOOR
PRIZES?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??! Please plan to join us for a fun day full
of friends and fellowship and hopefully none of that dirty
word,,,,,,,(unsewing)!!!
