President’s Corner July 2020
Greetings, dear friends!
I want to say again how much I enjoyed seeing so many of you at our June meeting and how impressed I was with all the wonderful finished UFO projects you presented! Very inspiring!
As we continue to travel through uncharted waters, I hope you will join us for the meetings, programs and workshops we have scheduled. We plan to meet at the Grand Valley Event Center (Masonic Lodge) for the next few months.
July’s meeting will be packed with lots of things to see and do!
Cindi Floyd Holman is bringing her Trunk Show: Scraps and Strings for us to enjoy.
Remember in our June meeting when I said we all needed to be willows and be willing to bend? Well, here our chance to do that! Our guest speaker has cancelled for August, so we now have our group garage sale scheduled for August. More time to browse and shop! This is always a fun event!
Hope to see you soon!
Until then, keep quilting, smiling, and laughing!

Sunset Slope Quilters Open Sew
Many of you expressed interest in having more time, more opportunities to finish or practice the techniques or projects you started at Rendezvous, (or finish up those UFOs before the next millennium!) SSQ Board discussed this topic and we have a plan in place for you!
Open Sew Groups are welcome to use the Fellowship Hall at American Lutheran Church after the General Meetings and Programs. No need to make reservations. There is plenty of space for multiple groups to gather. You and your friends decide what you want to work on and do it! Pack a lunch, bring your own beverages. Please remember to bring your own supplies (irons, cutting and pressing mats, extension cords, etc.) The space is available after the General Meeting/Program until 4:00, so enjoy your time!
