Picture
Our presentation for the November Guild regular meeting will feature surprise special celebrity guest speakers.  So, join us to see who will be there.

November is the month is which the Mystery Quilt Workshop quilts will be presented to the Guild.  Please send your photos of your Mystery Quilts and Show and Tell quilts to Nancy J. Steigerwalt to be included in the slide presentation.

​Regina will send out a Zoom invite for the guild meeting.  Also, if you have Show and Tell, please e-mail pictures to Christy Stephenson ahead of time so she can compile them.  

Row of the Month

Picture
This year, Guild members are joining in on a "row of the month" rather than a typical block of the month.  The approach is simple - each month a block pattern is featured and repeated to comprise one row of your quilt.   ***All rows are posted on the Members tab.*** 
*AQS (American Quilter’s Society) granted us permission to use their 2016 Row of the Month Quilt including the supply list and all the instructions with some stipulations...  “AQS QuiltWeek Row Quilt, Copyright 2016, American Quilter’s Society.  Used by permission.  For personal use by guild members only.  To maintain the integrity of the copyright, the quilts and pattern are not to be sold,  Quilt labels should bear the tag line: ‘AQS Quiltweek Row Quilt, Copyright 2016,American Quilter’s Society.  Used by Permission.’

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:  REGINA APUZZO

Hi Everyone,
 
I went for a walk today, such a beautiful, crisp fall day.  Rust and gold-colored leaves carpeted the ground, reminding me that it’s time for Mother Nature to rest.  It’s, also, time for our guild to begin to wrap up 2020.  Before we do, we have two Zoom guild meetings on the calendar—November 17th and December 15th.  Our November meeting will feature surprise guests and the reveal of your quilts from our annual Mystery Quilt.  This was the first time we held our mystery quilt via email clues, a change made necessary because of the pandemic’s social restrictions.  We hope that you enjoyed the format.  Thanks to Diana Leslie for bringing another fun project.  Our December meeting will feature the reveal of your quilts from our 2020 Row of the Month and the Personal Stash Challenge.  Thanks to Pat Clayton for coordinating both programs.  Pat will be coordinating next year’s Block of the Month; so, stay tuned.
 
We are looking forward to our 2021 calendar of programs and workshops.  We’re working on the assumption that virtual will be our format for the foreseeable future.  We will continue to pursue opportunities using this format and look forward to having you join us in the new year.  To that end, our membership renewal drive has begun, with dues payable by our December guild meeting.  We continue to welcome new members to our guild.  Interested quilters should contact us via our website:  http://www.newtownquiltersguild.org/contact.htm.
