Monday, September 16th after announcements, Jodi Lea will meet with those signed up to work with her (Thank You, Thank You!) to answer questions and hand out “cheat sheets” regarding procedures for both desk workers and runners.
No formal class will be happening, but PLEASE if you are new to this job, touch base with Jodi Lea! This is a fun assignment, but a bit of knowledge reduces a lot of stress…

One of the most time-consuming things about check-in is unfolding and refolding the quilts. The Check-In process would go a lot more smoothly if quilts were brought to us folded to show:
The video is short and sweet, and you will be ready for check-in.
For the big show -> October 11-13!
Don’t be surprised if a quilter asks you to support a scholarship program by buying a raffle ticket. The quilt we are raffling off this year is designed by Lynn Wilder and worked on by Guild members, under Lynn’s expert tutelage of course!
Our energetic member, Dana, has been selling tickets for the quilt, and the American Girl Doll. We also raffle off the Doll, including a wardrobe of Haute Couture fashions. No Kidding!
♥ TTFN ♥
P.S. Last day to submit an application is Monday, September 9th

We are thrilled to accept donations of cotton fabrics, thread, yarn, patterns, notions, and things sewing related. It is because of generous donations, that help us to keep our Comfort Quilt & Pillowcase projects serving the growing community.
Have you found a closet in your grandma’s house you are trying to clean out, that is crammed full of her sewing stash?? We can help you with that!
Send us an email at Guild@ihquilters.com, and someone will contact you.
Our very thankful 2019 Board of Directors

Summer weather (100+ degrees), and summer break are here! Independence Hall will be converted into a Flea Market for the next 6 weeks, and IH Quilters will be helping out on the Tues and Thurs work days.
The last Row by Row Class (until Fall) was small in numbers but big in fun! Rows 7 & 8 are not paper piecing, so the grumbling was at a minimum. At least about paper piecing, Ha!
Although we all worked hard on our projects, we chatted, giggled, and enjoyed ourselves. Nothing unusual about that – our classes have that in common, no matter what we are trying to learn.
Because the photographer sculked around, quietly snapping pix, you can’t see that we all had smiles on our faces!
You will have to trust me on this…
