52 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | SEPTEMBER 2021
Quilting Enthusiasts
The Four Seasons Quilting Enthusiasts had a great meeting in
August. There were lots of quilts shown by the members and an
amazing show and tell. Dates were scheduled for September and
October sit-n-sew for charities.
Discussion turned to the Four Seasons Quilting Enthusiasts
and Hand Makers Show on Nov. 6 in the Ballroom. The knitters,
crocheter's, and tatting ladies have agreed to join us in sharing their
beautiful handmade items. We understand that one of the ladies who
lives here creates beautiful handmade doll clothes, and we are hoping
that she will agree to display her work.
We now have several quilts of various sizes ready to be machine
quilted by our local "Long-armers" here. The plan is to have the first
set of quilts completed to donate in October. A former quilter, Mary
Martin, had read the article in the last issue of the Breeze and donated
five totes of fabric, some precut squares, and yardage for the charity
projects, as well as some batting. We want to say a huge THANK YOU
for this generous donation. They are much appreciated.
Our September meeting has been postponed until Sept. 12, due to
the Labor Day holiday, so PLEASE mark your calendars with this new
date.
The next sit-n-sew is Sept. 19 from 12 noon until 5 pm. Bring
your sewing machine, lunch, something to drink, and come enjoy the
laughter and fun.
We also would like to welcome a new member, Karen Cabrera!
Our next meeting is Oct. 3, with an October sit-n-sew scheduled
for Oct. 17, 12 to 5 pm. The week of Oct. 31 we will start collecting
quilts for the quilt show with set-up happening on Friday night and
into Saturday morning. All quilts and items to be displayed must
be "logged in and a number assigned to them." The Quilt Show will
open at 10 am to 2 pm on Nov. 6, to all Four Seasons residents and
their guests. More details to follow. If you would like to help setting
up the Quilt Show, please contact Mary M. Moody-Cox, (808) 430-
7469, email marymoodycox@gmail.com. As the quilters say, "Many
hands make light work." ~ Mary M. Moody-Cox
