See you there!

Phyllis H. has sent in this pattern for the Scrappy Jar Star Block, which I believe she used with great affect for a Quilt of Valor. Enjoy! Please feel free to reach out to Phyllis if you have any questions.

I hope everyone can forgive me, but this block cuts and sews together lightening fast! Here you go!

I hope everyone was able to get down to Long Beach and enjoy that fabulous show. Many thanks to Char and Dawn Marie for organizing!
This is reminder about our upcoming guild meeting happening on Tuesday. At this meeting, we'll be looking at our Raincross Quilt Guild Challenge 2022 projects!! It's okay if you don't have it completely done - please feel free to bring your WIP, no judgement here. :)
Tuesday will also be the official start of the Round Robin challenge - and there's still time for you to participate! Check out this blog post for all the details. Here are some examples from our 2019 Round Robin, including a beautiful way to display your Round Robin sisters signatures! Contact Cassandra G. if you have any questions.
Here's your reminder list of things to bring:

The rules: you will make a center with a minimum 6" x 6" and a maximum of 16" x 16" (or thereabouts). Add that to the bag provided. Feel free to add a label for the other quilters to sign, fabric for them to use, chocolates, whatever! We will add a sheet in each bag for each quilter to add their name (so that you can make your label later if you want or feel free to include a label in the bag, etc.).
For each exchange, make and sew on an interesting border of at least 4" to 12" wide (or thereabouts) to the previous center. Be creative and try to follow their theme. Make something that you'd want to keep!
Add your name to the sheet provided (and on the label if the original quilter included one) and bring back the bag you have at the next designated meeting (or make sure someone can bring it for you) and take the next bag. We will exchange four times, every other month and then everyone gets their own original round robin back.
Timeline:
August 2022 guild meeting: Bring your center (in the bag or get your bag if you haven't already) to pass and take home first exchange
October 2022 guild meeting: Bring in the bag you have and exchange #2
December 2022 guild meeting: Bring in the bag you have and exchange #3
February 2023 guild meeting: Bring in the bag you have and exchange #4

Please contact Cassandra G. if you have any questions!
