  Hot August. Dog Days of Summer. Almost Labor Day. Getting Home from Vacation. Feeling lethargic? Lost your mo-jo? Looking for some small project to make one more mini quilt for the Many Mini Quilt Auction?
        Well, this SOS is just the ticket for you. And guess what, no ticket required. It will be a free SOS day and you’ll be free to work on whatever you choose.
         Perhaps you want to finish at least one Mariner’s Compass or Dresden Plate to use as the center of a small medallion mini! Or maybe you want to improve your machine skills for free-motion quilting or attaching quilt binding completely by machine. — Or make one more bag for either the Boutique or a Serendipity basket!
          We'll probably have a chance to introduce something new you might not have tried: making yo-yos or EPP hexies, Cathedral window ornaments, folded potholders. Sign up and let me know what you’re planning to do or if there's something new you want to try. As much as possible we’ll have a few experts around to help.

  Cena Harmon was busy over the summer before she left on her annual cross-country trip——busy cutting all the pieces for a small holiday quilt (at right). You'll bring your own holiday fabric for the 3 B's (border, back and binding). The red, green, and plaid pieces will be cut and ready for the
  you to "flip and fuse"! You'll learn everything you need to do on a larger quilt of your own design.
        There will be a small fee to cover the cost of the pieces Cena is providing——to be determined as soon as Cena returns from her trip. Look for the supply list very soon. Put this SOS on your calendar and sign up for it now.

This year the guild will give away one throw-size quilt each day and host a mini-boutique and sale of small art quilts in the booth. The opportunity quilt "Star Gazing" will be on display and you may make a donation for your opportunity to have your name chosen to win it at our biennial quilt show in March 2025. 

  Quilters will be demonstrating hand-quilting, hand-piecing, hand-applique and binding techniques to fulfill our educational outreach as a heritage art. 

  There is no fee to attend this renowned, juried Arts Festival. Come look at the serious art, then come to Heritage Row and the PQG Booth to find some fabulous and affordable gifts in advance of the holiday season!

  Susan Lawler will have a different appliqué project for this SOS. Susan will share tips and secrets for achieving excellence in a variety of appliqué techniques! This will be the third time
  FYI: the photo is the appliqué project Susan designed for the SOS that Susan led in August '23. The flowers and techniques for the most recent class were very different. And there's more to learn than she can cover in a single class!
         Bring your favorite hand-sewing tools (scissors, pins/clips, needles). No need for sewing machines -- this will be all handwork.
       Susan provides a kit that includes nearly everything needed to complete your project. So, please bring $5 cash that Judy Walker will collect and give directly to Susan by day's end. Last year's kit produced the wonderful sunflowers shown on the right!
