Events and Neat Things to Do!

 

 

Fall Sorghum and Harvest Festival

 

How would you like to step back in time and pretend you were a quilter in the 1850's???

Share your love for Quilting with the Public?

Spend a couple of hours quilting with friends on a beautiful Fall day?

 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then WE WANT YOU!!! Mark your calendar for November 5th and 6th. Burritt Museum is having their Fall Sorghum and Harvest Festival. The purpose of the Festival is to demonstrate Crafts and Skills found in the Tennessee Valley area in 1850 and 1900.

Our Guild has been invited to demonstrate Quilting. We need volunteers to come and quilt on Friday and Saturday for 2 hour shifts. Friday from 9:00 to 2:00 is the School Program day and you will be quilting while the Valley Children watch and learn. On Saturday, the Festival is open to the Public from 10:00 until4:00. This is a wonderful opportunity to share a great hobby and skill with others as well as take time out to work on your own hand quilting projects.

(A "cheater's cloth" quilt will be set up for you to practise or you may take your own projects.)

A Sign-up sheet will be available at the October Guild meeting. If you would like to volunteer before them feel free to email or call Annie any time.

We look forward to a good turn-out for the Guild. Thank you in advance, for your support!

 

Another Great event is planned for Members!



Come join us as we gather to make Christmas ornaments for the HQH Christmas Tree! The guild Christmas tree is displayed in the Huntsville Main Library during the month of December and needs some help! We are going to have a FREE workshop to make new ornaments for the tree. Pat Kyser, 1st V.P of the Board, has graciously volunteered to lead a workshop on Monday, November 1st in the morning from 9:00 to 11:00 and again at night from 7:00 to 9:00 at the Senior Center on Drake Avenue (where the Quilt Show was held).

Ornaments made during the workshop will be used to decorate the tree during December and will be returned to the maker at the January Guild meeting (if desired).




Supplies needed for the workshop include:
Basic sewing kit
Scraps of Christmas Fabric
Scraps of Batting
Bits of Ribbon


You can sign up for this workshop/event at the October meeting so Annie will know about how many members will attend and plan for.
