Piecemakers Quilters 1
CO-PRESIDENTS’ CORNER
Snow Birds are leaving us fast and furious, as they are anxious to
return home. We have gained another new member - Susan Davis
joined The Piecemakers this past week. Hope everyone will take her
under their wing and be there for her. A past member , Nickie
White, came back to see us. She brought a beautiful quilt she had
made for her grandson for Show and Tell.
We have received our assignment for the 2017 Quilt Show. We
will be responsible for Basket Mania. This was our second choice,
but we’re sure that our chapter will do a really great job as always.
There was a discussion at Executive Board about the Guild
hanging some of our quilts at various recreation centers in The
Villages. The Guild is in the process of checking this out, and we
will advise everyone when we have more details.
The cook book project is well under way. The committee
received a total of 634 recipes. However the pre sales are not going
as well as expected. The committee wanted pre sales of 2000 but, as
of last week, they only had 98. If they don’t get enough pre-sales
they will return the monies back to those who pre-ordered.
The Guild is going to have an annual blood drive and are in the
process of checking out the details. This year’s drive will be for
one of our members, Nancy Meyers. She is ill and is requiring a lot
of blood.
The Basket Mania Funds (from the 2015 show) will be disbursed
in the form of grants of $162.00 to the existing chapters at the time
of the show. To receive a grant, chapters must submit a letter to the
Executive Board informing them of how they will use the money. A
letter has been submitted by The Piecemakers.
The subject of “what do we want to do as a chapter” was thrown
out to those members present. After a lot of discussion, nothing was
really decided. This subject was presented in hopes of finding a way
for all chapter members to work together. We need to encourage
group involvement. (Editor’s Note: E-mail your suggestions to
Brenda/Wanda at addresses shown top left of this page.)
Our next all day sew-in will beTuesday May 12th
2015. This
would be a great day for everyone to work on charity quilts.
Hope all of our Snow Birds arrived home safely, and that they
will have a great summer. We will be anxiously awaiting their
return in the fall. They are surely missed.
Peg Tackett has had knee surgery and is in Freedom Point
Rehab. We’re sure she would love to hear from everyone. Her
address is 1460 El Camino The Villages, FL 32159 Room 152. Have a great month,
