President’s Message
I received a letter from the Putnam County Historian asking for the Guild’s assistance in locating the Putnam County Bicentennial Quilt. The quilt was design by Gladys Boalt and sewn by members of her sewing group. If anyone has any idea as to the whereabouts of this quilt, please contact me so I can let her know. The picture posted here is from the historian’s webpage.
Thank you to all of the teachers at this year’s Super Saturday. Your participation in the event helped make it so successful. I think all who attended agree with me that the new venue, the Yorktown Presbyterian Church, was great. We hope that we can continue to hold Super Saturday here in future years.
Don’t forget to register your quilt for the World of Quilts XXXVIII. Registration will be open until the end of the month.

Programs
There are still openings for this month’s workshop, “Glue and Paste Flowers” given by our speaker Juanita Yeager. Juanita has won multiple awards and ribbons for composition, color and design in local, national and international competitions. To quote her “My art is about color”.
The workshop, “Glue and Paste Flowers”, is so much more than just gluing and pasting. In this machine applique class you will learn Juanita’s way of creating large scale flowers with prepared edge shapes. She will teach her technique called glue-pasting that she uses when making her large floral wall quilts. Only for the workshop it will be in a scaled down version to fit a class project. You will also learn how to machine quilt for dimension and texture. Learn how to finish you quilt with a facing that enhances the “art” look of the class project.
It should be a wonderful day for quilters of all skill and interest levels. Please join us for a day full of laughter and learning from this very talented quilter.
