Sewing this Saturday?

Sew Day at Goeske! - this coming Saturday, the 17th!

In the meantime - how far along are you on your BOM for this month.  Done?   Congrats!! Or maybe you're like me:

Keep plugging away at it.  You have six days til the next Guild meeting.

Are you doing the VA Quilt Challenge?

These are easy, fun, and addictive, and you can make them from your scraps!  All you need is 20 to make a VA lap quilt - they measure 9 1/2" square unfinished.  Here are the directions from Christine.  Quilt top due in May.  Any questions?  Call Christine - her number is in the directory.

LOL - Here's a Fun Free Pattern

Celebrate Natl Quilt Day on March 17th Sew Day!

Hi!  We're having a Sew Day March 17th (9 - 4pm at Janet Goeske)

and celebrating National Quilt Day together by (you guessed it!) sewing together.  The guild will provide Corned Beef and Cabbage for lunch - please consider bringing other potluck items - side dishes, desserts, etc.  And we'll sew and sew the day away with your own projects or one being offered (I know a pincushion one was mentioned).  We'd love to see you all there!

PS:  If you know a member who does not have a computer, how about printing this message off for them and sending or delivering it to them?  Thanks!

A Complete Online Quilt Expo

Here's your chance to attend a quilt expo in Alaska - all online and completely free.  Sounds so real all ready.  To see what I mean visit:  http://willowbendcreations.com/InspiredToQuilt/
Registering is free.  I look foward to going (online that is).

BOM Block for March is now Posted

Go to our tab BOM, etc  to get directions.  The correct number of blocks by color have been corrected on these directions.

Thank you, Susan, for another wonderful block.

BOM for March and Correction

is Mt. Rubidoux.  Instructions will be online as soon as I get them.  Susan wrote me this morning and said the numbers of blocks needs to be corrected.  The handout says 15 blue and 25 beige.  It should be 25 blue and 15 beige.  Please make a correction on your directions.  If you know a member who doesn't have a computer, please let them know.  Thank you!

Our Next Meeting is Tuesday 2/21/12

Have you made your BOM block?  This new BOM for 2012 is sure to be a pleaser.  And historical too - with each block about Riverside. Instructions are under the tab BOM, etc.

And remember, this year you need only make one and you get to keep yours for assembling the quilt at the end of the year. Questions?  Susan M. is the one to contact.
