July 2021
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hi Everyone, A familiar sign of summer has arrived – fireflies, or lightning bugs, as I call them. Their flashes of yellow light bring back memories of my childhood summers when I thoroughly enjoyed not being in school. Riding my bike, playing hopscotch, roller skating, cooling off in a backyard pool, having lunch outdoors, and playing with my sisters and friends are treasured memories, but my favorite memory is swinging on my swing on those warm summer nights, surrounded by the twinkling lights of lightning bugs and thinking my toes could touch the stars as I went higher and higher. Good memories. I hope you are enjoying your summer. We had the pleasure of welcoming two former guild members to our June guild meeting. It was great to see their beautiful work and to catch up on what they have been doing away from guild. Our July meeting will feature Rhonda Pierce from SCHMETZ Needles. Rhonda will present a guide to using SCHMETZ needles. Like thread, sewing machine needles are an important ingredient to successful sewing. If you have only ever used one size and type of needle throughout your sewing journey, be sure to tune in for our meeting. It’s a whole other world out there! Our July calendar also features a virtual retreat day and a Philanthropy workshop dedicated to making holiday stockings which will be donated to Neighbor in Need and Home Front. We have a great calendar planned through to the end of 2021, and we are already planning for 2022! Stay tuned. More information about our upcoming programs and workshops can be found in the newsletter emailed to members and on this site under the Events tab. |
