Yes, fall is approaching, and on Wednesday, Sept. 4, the Agave Quilters Guild will kick off our new season. The meeting will be held in the Navajo Room at Sun Lakes Country Club at 1 p.m. All people interested in quilting are invited to attend. There’s sure to be lots of summer projects to share during our Show and Tell time. Program Chairs Jean Hedberg and Barb Dinardo are busy lining up speakers for the year.
Our Oct. 2 meeting will feature Karen Fisher, an art quilter from Tucson, who will be presenting her program/trunk show, “Yes, We Are All Artists.” We will view some of her quilts on screen, because they will be in Houston for a special exhibit of her work at the International Quilt Festival from Oct. 30 through Nov. 3. Check out some of her fabulous quilts at karenfisherartquilts.com.
This summer members have been working on a wide variety of items to sell at our Boutique, which will be held on Saturday, Nov. 9, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Navajo Room. The Oakwood Sewing Room is available from noon to 4 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month through October for anyone or group who would like to work on Boutique items.
Visitors are welcome to attend any of our meetings, which are held on the first Wednesday of the month, September through May, at 1 p.m. in the Navajo Room at Sun Lakes Country Club (25601 S. Sun Lakes Blvd.).
