Quilt Guild Meeting is October 14, 2024 
@ 7 pm 
Location is First Baptist West Church 73th and NW Cache Rd in Lawton, OK
 
There is also a Sew Social October 14,  2024. 
Beginning at 4 pm. 
Bring a sewing machine, rotary cutter/mat. 
Let's get some blocks made. 

From the President
Hello Guild Members!
 
First of all, thank you Barbara for taking over for me at last month's guild meeting. My husband Bill and I have almost all of the camping stuff cleaned and put in it's place. While away at the bluegrass festival in Kansas, I did bring my sewing machine and worked on charity projects. Was able to make enough potato chip blocks for 2 quilts and cut numerous 2.5" x 4.5" pieces for more chips. I can see a dent in my scrap box! I will bring those cut chips to the sew social on October 14th.
 
On a sad note, I am sure you all now know that our local quilt shop, Quilt'n Bee in Cache is closing. It was really hard to watch and listen to Mandy as she announced the closing on her video. I think I cried as much as her. Beverly has decided to retire. She has some good deals on new sewing machines and on her fabrics. Don't wait too long to check her out or the good stuff will be gone. Bright side is that we will still see Beverly and Mandy at guild meetings.
 
It is time to get back in the quilting swing. Don't forget sew social at 4pm at the church on October 14th. Bring your machine, rotary, ruler and cutting mat and whatever else you need to work.
 
Peggy Coe
WMQG President
