Narragansett Bay Quilters Association

Presidents Message:

Hello ladies:

Welcome to the Fall! It’s always a special time of year for me and I hope for you as well but a bit bittersweet. My youngest granddaughter started kindergarten so I no longer have her twice a week but I get to bring her and her brother to school every day so that makes me happy.

I challenged myself this summer to learn to use different creative grid rulers. Thank goodness they have tutorials on their website, so it was really easy to follow along. Who doesn’t love a new ruler! Also, as a member of AQS I receive their magazine. The September issue has a great quilt on the front cover as well as another pattern inside that peaked my interest. Well, I made them both. The Falloween quilt will be donated to a charity for their silent auction in October and the Take Me Out to the Ballpark (which converted into a Quilt of Valor) will be presented to a veteran at a later date. So, my summer was productive and enjoyable. I hope yours was as well.

We have a lot going on. Here is a quick recap =

General Membership meeting – September 18 th , 2025. The meeting will start at 6:30.

Door open at 5 p.m. so you can shop The Boutique until 6:15 p.m.

Drop off your Summer Challenge between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. Rumor has it there may be a trophy (what?!) for the lucky first prize winner along with cash prizes. Voting will be from 6:15-6:30 p.m.

We will have Jane Lionelli from our sister guild – Ninigret – selling tickets for their raffle quilt. Jane will be located in Fellowship Hall.

We will also be presenting something special that was worked on this summer…big secret!

Programs will also be doing a recap of upcoming events. Please sign up!

I will keep this short so we can all get back to what we enjoy doing the most! Happy Summer!

See you soon!

Best regards,

Gail Macera
