Another fun night with guest quilter, Grannie Suzannie and her trunk show. Her specialties are paper piecing, hand quilting and sewing with what to many of us are "those dreaded stripes." Amazing what some curiostity did for her and for us ... she taught a workshop in the morning and already our show-n-tell list for the evening had samples of the work accomplished in just a few short hours.

GUILD MEETINGS ARE MORE THAN "JUST A LECTURE"
Guild meetings are the time to catch up with friends, mingle with members from other chapters and to register for upcoming workshops and in-house classes. Win a door prize or the 50-50 or just relax.

No longer Guild President, Alice wins a doorprize!
This is what a trunk show is all about ... inspiration dosed with humor ... breaking down the seemingly impossible into doable blocks.
< Now that she doesn't have to sheppard us anymore, Alice Nicholas can be like other SeaBreeze Chapter members and quilt. She won these modern quilt blocks at the Florida Cancer Specialists. Nice!
SNEAK PREVIEW .... Charity Quilt 2015 Pieced by Sunset Pointe members; cross your fingers that the quilting will be finished in time for MarketPlace 2014 so we can begin selling chances to win this beauty!
< From Today's Workshop. This is a message to members who don't sign up for a workshop because they "don't quilt well enough." You sign up to LEARN and HAVE FUN. Ruth is a relatively new quilter and look what she accomplished!
Piecemakers were a whirling string of baby quilts, complete with matching pillows. Blankets made with love, every one of them!
In alpha order, presenters included Brenda Barkley, Ida Hoover, Mary Huber, Barbara Kingsbury, Delores Korff, Barbara Morrow, Wanda Marsh, Esther Meinhardt, Barbara Rule-Mispel, Marcia Schoonaert, Donna Starr, Jan Watkins,
