Welcome
Next Meeting: November 12th 7:00PM
Scandinavian Star Ornament
The November Program will be a “make and take” called the Scandinavian Star Ornament. Everyone who would like to participate needs to bring a few materials.
A pair of scissors
4 pieces of fabric all cut 3” x 12” two light and 2 dark…will make 1 ornament
A piece of ribbon (for the hanger)
Fabric glue
Quilt clips
Please iron these strips using starch and fold lengthwise in half wrong sides together. Iron to create a crease. Open and refold so lengthwise raw edges meet at the center crease and iron again. Now fold in half so the raw edges are enclosed in the middle and press again. Please feel free to bring more than enough for one star, we should have plenty of time to make a few.
If you have any questions, please contact Terry Gelinas, Program Coordinator
Also, please remember to bring 1 yard or more of shades of orange fabrics to donate for our 2021 Raffle Quilt.
Include your name so we can return the fabric to you if we don’t use it.
Festival of Trees
The semi-annual Festival of Trees held at the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth is coming up on November 15th, 16th and 17th. Our guild has been taking part for several years. This is a fund raiser for the Portsmouth Garden Club and the State Division of Homes and Land. The grounds are transformed into a holiday theme with over 90 displays. Indoor and outdoor trees are beautifully decorated. There is an antique cape on the property and we transform the bedroom with our handiwork and holiday quilts. I am again organizing this and am asking to borrow any holiday quilts and/or do-dads you would care to share. They will be returned to you after the festival. Please bring them to the October or November meeting. Also I'm asking for volunteers to take 2 hour shifts sitting in the bedroom greeting those attending. The Festival runs from 4pm to 8 pm all three days. Bring along some hand work to pass the time. Everyone loves to see what we do. I'll have a sign up sheet at the meeting. Thank you in advance for your help.
