November Meeting

 

Hello our talented beauties,

We hope you are enjoying the cooler temperatures that are just perfect for quilting!  We would like to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!  We have our Sassi Strippper Quilt Guild Meeting at the Jones Creek Library on Thursday, November 17, 2022 @ 6:30pm.  I will be filling in for our treasured President, Sharon Holder at the meeting. 

Last month was so much fun when Valerie Z. Shared her knowledge and techniques for “Using Coloring Techniques for embroidery”.  I know some of you brought your blocks home to complete, please bring them to the meeting so we can share them.  Our program for November will be presented by Merlene Lewis.  She has been an incredible asset to the guild and to all the charities that we have donated to for so many years!  She will be sharing the “Magic Circle Ruler“ technique with the guild.  We are looking forward to it.

We still need officers for a couple of the positions for the 2023 SSQG Board.  Positions needed to be filled are the President and Vice President.  Please consider volunteering, you will have the support of many members to help you throughout the year.  Having a board is the only way we can continue as a guild next year in 2023.  Thank you for all that everyone has done for SSQG, y’all are all such talented and amazing women!!!

I have received confirmation from the following members that will be attending the 2022 SSQG Christmas Party.
Pam T, Cheryl M, Marilyn H, Merlene L, Karen L, Valerie K, Robin C, Cindy S and Becky F.
Please let me know if you will be joining us, so I can include you in the final head count.

So bring your UFO’s, tabs, colored embroidery blocks, show n tell and join me for some fun, creativity and fellowship!

Hello our talented beauties,

I hope everyone is enjoying the cool weather! We have our SassI Strippers Quilt Guild Meeting at the Jones Creek Library on Thursday, October 20, 2022 @ 6:30pm. I will be filling in for our wonderful President, Sharon Holder at the meeting.

Last month was such a delight when Gayle S. shared her technique for “Crochet Rag Rugs” with us.  I am sure many of you have added it to your to do list!

October’s program is, “Using Coloring Techniques for Embroidery”, it is going to be presented by our one and only, Valerie K. Valerie’s talents are abundant and her work is absolutely beautiful! October’s program will be a hands on demo as well, she has asked for you to bring your crayons including a white one, a hoop and a size 7 or 8 embroidery needle. Valerie will be supplying the rest that is needed. I have been looking forward to this class and I know everyone will enjoy learning this technique to be able to apply it to so many projects!

There are many topics we will be discussing at the meeting so we would love for everyone to attend. So bring your tabs, UFO’s, Show n Tell, and join us for some fun, creativity, laughs and fellowships!
