After cutting fabric for your quilt, cut the
remaining fabrics into strips the size you use for bindings.
These leftover strips can then be used on your next scrap quilt
project.

SPAM in your EMAIL? .

When you send guild-related email to
any member, include the guild initials WHQG in the subject line.
That way recipients will not hit delete without readying your
message - maybe thinking that you are trying to sell
health-enhancing drugs or the latest stock tips.
Charm Square Swap
Each month you have the option to sign up to
bring 6 inch squares (charm squares) of pre washed, 100%
quality cotton to swap the following month. The number
of squares to be swapped will be determined by the number of
members who sign up and announced at the end of the guild
meeting.
Please bring your squares in a gallon size bag. The
sandwich size is just too small :-( And do be sure to
write your name on your baggie. A return address label
works very well! Any extra blocks that you don't want can be
put in the basket. These will be donated to our service bee,
Sew Special...from the Heart.
When you leave your squares, cross your
name off of the January list, and put your empty baggie
under the notebook. If you want to participate in
February, sign up to trade BATIKS! Please sign your
first and last names so I can attempt to send you a
reminder. The number will, of course, depend on how many
sign up.
