For those of you that likes retreat, evidently there's a new place outside Kansas City.

  

This didn't make it into the September meeting announcement and I wanted everyone to be sure to see it. We are raffling off a free hotel room to be used during the SewMeSTL 2024 Retreat. We will be doing the drawing at the September meeting but you don't have to be present to win. $5 per ticket.

My eager beavers have been champing at the bit to make some improv flying geese. Awesome!

Waiting is hard, but it's coming soon.

I did some extensive traveling this August and did not make a video this month. Luckily, our guild calendar can easily accommodate this.

But since you're all so eager, I'll do you a solid and drop both the improv flying geese and Drunkard's path videos in September. How on earth is it almost September?

While both blocks take a little finesse to get "right", the construction is simple enough that you can quickly make practice blocks until you're happy with the result.

Feeling frisky? Try making some blocks before the video drops. See what happens.

I'll post an update when the next video drops. Thanks for your patience with the volunteers.

Dear Quilters, 

My Temperature Quilt Survey has been open for almost 1 month and it’s going really well! 

If you haven’t yet been able to share the information below with your members, there is still time! 

The Survey will remain open until mid-September 2024. 

If you have already shared this info, THANKS so much! And if you are able to send a reminder to your members, that would be great too. 

The survey is very short, but quilters must have made a temperature quilt to participate. 2024 temperature quilts in progress are qualify. 

Thanks again for support, it means a lot to me and the research is already providing really interesting results!  

I look forward to sharing it with you all. 

Cheers,  

Tracey Clement
