New Library Books at January Meeting

Check out the New Additions tab at Gurulib.com/bqguild to see the 19 news books and three new magazines that will be available at the January meeting.

January / February – General Meeting

Our guest speaker this month at our January 26th meeting is Lucy Anne Holiday. She will be giving an historical talk on Traditional Durham Quilting with slides and samples. You can visit Lucy Anne’s blog for more information.

I hope you are all busy gathering items to sell at the Garage Sale being held at our February 23rd meeting. Everything must have a tag STAPLED or safety pinned to the item (no straight pins, please!). The tags are available here. Print one copy, fill in your name and address and they copy as many pages as you might need for the items you plan to sell. If you have items that you wish to donate to the Guild for sale at the Garage Sale, we would ask that you price and tag these items as well – just mark them with “BQG” rather than your own name and phone number.

See you on the 26th!

December Meeting / January Workshop

Our last meeting of the year is fast approaching. Hard to believe! I hope you are looking forward to some serious shopping at our Vendors – Grantham Books, Sew Sisters, Sew N Serge. Also, don’t forget Stefan Deskar will be on hard to sharpen your knives and scissors. Bring any scissors or knives that need sharpening, in a ziploc bag with your Name on the outside and your $9 for each on the inside :-). You will go home with sharpened scissors for all those projects you have lined up for 2012 and a good sharp knife to carve the Christmas Turkey!

Our next workshop is “Miniature Quilt” with Elaine Theriault. The class is almost full and this will be your last chance to sign up before the Workshop on January 21st. Cost is $35.00 and it looks like it will be lots of fun and a great learning experience, as are all of Elaine’s workshops.

There are only a couple of spots left for the Feb. 25th “Sew Flakes” workshop with Kathy Wylie as well. If you are planning to register, please bring your payment of $45 to the December meeting so you don’t miss out.

Please check your November newsletter to see if you are one of the December Hostesses for the Social table.

See you on the 8th!

New at the Library – November 2011

Please check for new additions this month. There are a few new magazines, some donated Fons and Porter’s that the library didn’t have and a couple donated books that would be good for beginner quilters.

Valentine Bargello Workshop – Oct. 29th

There are still spaces available in the Valentine Bargello workshop scheduled for Oct. 29th. Do not be intimidated by this design! You will be sewing nothing more than straight lines. This is a quilt-as-you-go technique. If you were planning on registering at the October meeting, please contact Val or Brenda to obtain the supply list and pre-class instructions.
