NEWS FLASH

 

August Program

This months speaker is the husband of one of our own members! Tessa DeVance's

husband, Robert, will be coming to share information with us about our computers. Let's

face it, we use our computers for everything - from communicating with each other, to

storing important information, and quilt designing software. There are those of you

who have machines that connect to the internet to get upgrades and/or embroidery

designs. Robert will be giving us tips on the care and feeding of our computers.

 

September Program

 

September will be a community service night. We will be working on laundry bags for

City House Teens. October is our Quilted Arts Auction. Your auction items need to be

turned in at our August 19th meeting in order to be included in the display at the

Allen Public Library and no later than September 16th to be in the Auction.

 


 

 


The Allen Quilters' Guild is a 501(c)(3) organization, promoting the knowledge of all aspects of quilting including the heritage, education, art and friendship of quilting.

 

Meetings are held the 3rd Thursday of each month at the First Presbyterian Church of Allen.

There are several activities, workshops and community service projects to participate in.

Storybook Quilt Program


 

There are 24 quilts in progress with a member of the guild. Thank you for your support! 

 

Please bring your completed quilts and books to the next couple of meetings. Don’t forget to include the “Quilter’s comments”. This explains your thoughts while working on the quilt, and the reasons for the quilt pattern or blocks that were chosen to represent the book.

Stop by the library this month to see the awesome quilts on display Questions? Contact Heather.

LIBRARIAN REPORT


Thirty-seven school items (pens, pencils, scissors, paper, notebooks, 3-ring binders and crayons) were delivered to ACO.

However, if you did not remember to bring school supplies last month, you still have a

chance to do so in August. We want to help the children succeed with the necessary supplies. Many of the stores are having great sales now, too.

Special Thanks to Alice Payn and her sister-in-law who have just donated several books to our library which include nine beautiful volumes of spiral bound hardcover books from the Quilt-Lovers' Favorites collection. These are wonderful books featuring projects requested by readers of American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine.

You can check the books out from the Patchwork Projects category of our shelves. They are a must see and a great place to get an idea for making a project for the upcoming mini quilt auction!!! Enjoy!!
