Important Updates
Sewing Saturday Has Moved!
The new location features a bigger space, is already set up for us, and has instant access to supplies we might need! It is also an excellent location move to a more central part of town.
The hours will be shortened to 9am to 3pm, but the lessened set up time may make this a beneficial change.
Spring Sew-Signment Sale
As soon as dates are finalized, we will get that information to everyone so they can share with neighboring guilds, too.
CHARITY

Another special thank you to Peggy for setting up the sew in!

Member Spotlight
Linda Hornsby: Membership Chair
Hi, I’m Linda Hornsby. I joined RCMQG in November 2018 and was very impressed with the warm welcome I received! I am excited to be the Membership Chair for the guild for 2020. I plan to work towards implementing a new member buddy system and organize activities geared towards helping members get to know each other better. I’ll need some help, so keep me in mind when volunteering for committees!
I retired 2 years ago from the aerospace industry and have enjoyed traveling, biking, pilates and, of course, sewing. I have been sewing for about 4 years and enjoy quilting, sewing garments, ITH (in the hoop) embroidery projects and hoarding fabric. My first quilt took 2 years to complete, I learned a lot along the way, and my enthusiasm was ignited!
