COMING SOON: October 28! Our 10th Anniversary on FB and a new Mystery Quilt for 2025!

Posted byWay Too MuchPosted inSCRAPPY QUILTERS, WAY TOO MUCH

HISTORY: October 28. WOW! This is a special day for our Scrappy Quilters group. Did you know that we originally started on yahoo as a group that broke apart from Stashbusters. That was back in 2000, if I remember correctly. After yahoo groups shut down, we moved to FB under the name of Stash-Quilters and then later changed to Scrappy Quilters. From Scrappy Quilters, we had a few offshoot groups for special projects, Flower Garden, Donna’s Double, Mini Block Club, String Theory, and of course, this blog that was once called Quietly Quilting Ministries. A few years ago, I was hacked and do not have access to those groups any longer. So actually, we have been around for a long time, under different names and addresses. And I have my wonderful friends, Cheryl Hall and Karen Wythe to thank for making Scrappy Quilters a big success! And of course, our wonderfully creative, patient members!

Our anniversary celebration details are still in the works, but I am hoping (and I really am trying to overcome a physical issue with chatting via zoom) to possibly set up some workshops or chat rooms where we can visit and get to know each other better. In fact, that leads into our 2025 Mystery Quilt.

This year we are going to try and do the mystery quilt via zoom! I don’t do my own videos as I am not good at using a camera or phone that way and I have no one to help set it up, but zoom should work okay. I hope that you will join us and help make it a success. As for our mystery quilt details, I am going to give you a voice, or actually a vote, in what we make.

Please leave a comment about what you would like to see happen next year.

QUILTS:

  1. A yearlong quilt, 12 blocks at 1 block a month.
  2. A series of smaller quilts, easy to make or adjust to your own tastes, say around 3 or 4.

PROJECTS:

  1. Gift items for friends, wallets, runners, post cards, etc.
  2. Seasonal projects, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, etc.

Or we could change it up and do a little of both. In order for this to work, you have to leave a comment below with your choice or if you have a different idea.

This closes on November 1, 2024, so that I will have time to get set up.

Thank you.

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy. I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children's Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy. I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters' Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs. I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters. Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
