Where The Corners Meet Quilt Guild
September 2004
September Meeting
The September meeting means Shop Owners Night. On September 14th ten shops will be at the New Wilmington Presbyterian Church on Market St. (just a block from the Quilting Bee). Be sure to bring your money and friends and spread the word—all quilters are welcome. The shop owners love it when there is a crowd.
In discussing the large crowd at the picnic, we voted to have the hostesses bring cookies/munchies, ice and the rest of us bring drinks and cups.
Last Month
The picnic was, as usual, not only a lot of fun but also VERY yummy thanks to all the wonderful dishes everyone brought. While we had a low attendance, you couldn’t tell it by the amount of food that was available.
October Program
Our personal challenges will be due in October. If you’ve forgotten what you wrote as your personal challenge, Mary Ann will have your sheet at the September meeting.
Portrait blocks will be accepted up until November.
Shop Owners Night Helpers
The shop owners need our help getting in and out of the church. We’re asking all members to help either before the meeting or afterwards. The following people signed up at the August meeting:

Mystery Quilt Day
Date Change
The mystery quilt day has been changed from September to October 2nd. Time is 9 to 3 and location is Trinity Presbyterian Church in Mercer. There are still spaces open; if you want to participate you may turn in your $15 to Mary Ann at the September meeting.
If you get information about events, shows, new shops, trips, etc. that would be of interest to our guild, please give Jean Wanchick the information for the newsletter.
Shaffer’s Countryside Quilting is a relatively new shop celebrating six years in business this September. Judy Shaffer, the shop owner, is a familiar face to most of us. She participates in Shop Owners Night and has presented programs at our guild various times.
Customer service, a priority with Judy, is easily felt upon entering the shop. In scanning the two rooms of fabric and looking at the sample quilts it’s apparent that Judy’s interior design background has been instrumental in her selections. Besides a wonderful color and design sense, her technical knowledge of fabrics, companies, and designers aids customers in making their selections.
The shop is full of wonderful fabrics not limited to, but including Moda, Thimbleberries, RJR, and 1840s, Civil War, 1930s and wool. There are books, patterns, and many notions including kits made up by Judy, classes and programs like block of the month and Log Cabin Club.
To celebrate her sixth year of business, Judy is having an Anniversary Sale from September 8th to 11th. During that time you can purchase 3 yards of fabric and receive the 4th yard free (half yard minimum cuts). She also will offer 20% off retail prices on notions, batting, kits, books, rulers, patterns and thread.
Her fall newsletter is about to be mailed with plans for fall classes and two new clubs in addition to the block of the month club. Judy participates in several Shop Hops but since she is so close to us it is easy to pop in to check out the new things that are always showing up in the shop. Shop hours are Wednesdays noon to 7, Thursday and Friday 10 to 5 and Saturday 10 to 3.
