=====================================

Anyone interested in doing a RWB group project for the 250th Anniversary, especially since our demo is 7/4? I'm not expecting it to be done by the demo but it could be fun to work on the same/similar projects. We could each make a personal project or everyone makes a few blocks towards a group quilt. I'm thinking star blocks (Paper Pieces has tons of choices). Give me your thoughts and if I should narrow down the star options...

Nothing exciting planned for this meeting - unless you have any ideas for the Christmas Party! 

We have already discussed doing the sock game again - anyone interested in switching from socks to something else? Or shall we stick with the tried and true? I also have a new game to play that we can use FQs or the smaller sizes. Any party requests?

Hello all! Sorry for the lack of recent posts.

How are your quilts coming for our annual Quilt Show? I've been trying to nail down install and reception dates from the ACWC - will update this post ASAP.

• Install quilt show: 8/____/25 at 5pm
• Reception: 9/_____/25, 6-8pm. What food item would you like to bring?

Attendance at a Pike Fair demo has been low the last couple of years - is there any interest this year? I'm at the Griffith House every day but Monday, always with my hexies, so everyone is welcome to join me at any time.

Our demo at the Perry Farmers' Market is Saturday, 8/23/25, 10am-noon. Please bring a chair, a project to work on and something to hang on the clothesline for show & tell. Come early for the cinnamon rolls, stay for the veg and music :)

Pike Fair Demo - Friday, 8/16/24

Pike Fair is right around the corner!!

At last Friday's meeting we voted to do our demo outside of the Griffith House instead of at our usual location. Think quilt in public day: bring a chair, some show-n-tell and maybe a little side table. There is a big table we can lug out but I'm not sure how lawn chairs belly up to the table. There are inside options if the weather doesn't cooperate.

The (blue) Griffith House is located at the front of the fair, near the tractors and cars, just off Main Street. Parking will be on your own altho there are sometimes spots for volunteers near the House - I make no guarantees if they will be available.

We will definitely stitch 6-8pm. Feel free to come early and or stay late and don't forget to buy some fair food to munch on!

Hexie Club - 8/2/24

Friday, 8/2/24, 6-8pm 

How is summer half over? What stitching have you accomplished so far?

What would you like to do for our annual demo at the Fair? Claudia is not having a booth this year so we could do the demo:

• in our usual space (inside, not acknowledged by home arts department, can be crowded, tractor pull can be loud)
• near the Griffith House (outside with inside options for bad weather, more space, away from tractor pull but near saw mill). We can set up a table or just our lawn chairs.
