Open Sewing at the Lake House -- Wednesday Oct 30th

Lake House Open Sewing -- MLQG members gather for open sewing sessions at the lake house (near Hills Creek Lake) on Wednesdays from 10:00 until ?. All guild members of all ability levels and interests are welcome to attend on any Wednesday and may work on any stitching projects that they like, hand or machine, even knitting/crocheting/embroidery. The only exception is the fourth Wednesday of the month, which will continue to be a charity sewing day (charity sewing is on temporary hiatus until Jan 2014).

The purpose of these get-togethers is to spend time with other fiber fanatics and to learn from each other, no matter what we're all working on. Bring your projects, machine, and lunch. Stay for an hour or stay all day. Just be warned that if only a couple of people show up in the morning, we may close up shop by noon (but that doesn't happen too often).

The next open sewing session at the lake house will be on Wednesday, October 30th. If you need directions to the lake house or want more info, please contact Anya T., Dori S., Peggi Y., or Susan McC. (check your roster for contact info or comment on this blog post).

Hope to see you there!

Machine Quilting Workshop -- Oct 12th

We hope everyone who attended the workshop now has more confidence and a few new techniques to try some machine quilting at home. "Homework" is to use the placemat kit given out at the workshop to try your newly-acquired skills and make a placemat for the guild's outreach program, Meals on Wheels.

Thank you to instructor Cyndi Slothower of Quilters Corner in Ithaca, NY.

Thank you to guild member Sandy J. for the lovely cake!

Happy Anniversary, MLQG!

Important News About Charity Quilting at the Lake House

Charity Quilting, which is normally held at the lake house on the 4th Wednesday of each month, is going to be on hold for the next few months.  Because of a scheduling conflict in October, Thanksgiving in November, and Christmas in December, we thought it best to put Charity Quilting on hiatus rather than trying to reschedule so many dates.  Use this break to enjoy time in your own sewing room, but please continue to support the guild's current outreach projects too!  See you all again for Charity Quilting at the lake house on January 22!
