South Jersey Quilters Guild: October 2014

Welcome

Do you enjoy quilting and other fiber arts? Do you enjoy sharing ideas about fabrics and quilting with other quilters? If you do, then we're the quilt guild for you. South Jersey Quilters Guild is a community of kindred souls who enjoy working with fabric and being in the company of other quilters. The members of the South Jersey Quilters Guild would like to extend to you an invitation to visit, socialize, sew with us and join our guild.

The South Jersey Quilters Guild seeks to promote the work and accomplishments of our quilters and to preserve the tradition, culture, and history of quilting. The guild welcomes all who are interested in quilting. We have classes, workshops, activities and events planned for the entire year.

Our meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Franklinville Community Center. Each meeting includes show and tell, thimble and postcard prizes, workshops and lively discussion of issues relevant to the quilt world in general and South Jersey quilters in particular. Beginners are welcome too, as we have members of all levels of quilting experience. Come, learn, share, enjoy.

Miles of Smiles

Below are some pictures taken at last Saturday’s "Miles of Smiles" sew in to benefit Konker Cancer. We accomplished a lot! We sewed just over 100 pillow cases. If you were unable to make it but would still like to support this very important community service project, please see Gloria Stewart for kits. Gloria will bring them to the next business meeting and you can take as many as you can sew.

Our guild is blessed to be able to participate in so many outreach projects for our neighboring communities and as individuals it’s difficult to support them all. But if you have limited time, don’t be shy about asking for just one kit if that’s all you can manage, it all adds up and it’s all appreciated.

We sure have fun when we get together!
