ALL NEW GUILD

[Robin G.]

Brink - I can't believe so many people are interested already. With 25 or so people you will have such a variety of skills and interests that your meetings will be great fun.
Good luck and be sure to keep us posted on how things progress.

[Robin G.]

Yooohooo...first meeting over All the 25 girls showed up...and a few more are interested in joining us. I was so busy at the guildmeeting, helping out 3 girls who have never done any quilting earlier that my camera stayed in my bag :cry: ops:
The 3 newbies left happy...well on their way to make tablerunners or place mats. First time handeling a rotary cutter can be scary, but they did a GREATE job!!
Now...I promise to take pictures next time!!! When everything is up and running smoothly we will make our own website so you alll can come visit us :wink:

WooHoo! That is great Hanne-Grete! Just remeber to keep the first aid kit around! :lol: :wink: In the meantime, enjoy the success and rest in between and quilt...Hmmm, makes me wonder how many of your new group will also be TQS members?

[Robin G.]

Hanne-Grete, Sounds like fun! congratulations. We look forward to hearing what name you come up with for your guild. I joined an already existing guild called "Country Neighbors" and wish it had a more interesting name. A friend belongs to a small group they call the Seamly Six. Isn't that cute?

Pick a fun name and let us know!

Your guild name is: "Snertne sneller"...and I guess that need some explenation :lol:

A spool of thread is in Norwegian: traad-snelle
and "snelle" is a nick for a rather good looking girl :wink:

So in english our name is:

Smashing spools :lol: :shock:

The guild is going greate....now at 27 members...and we have some on a waiting list! I am busy on the guildmeetings teaching the newbies :shock: After 2 nights they went happy home with table runners and placemats just needs to do the handstitching on the binding. Next time I am going to teach the girls half-sq-triangles.....and then we need to do some applique dont you think?? I promise to take the camera out of my bag next time :lol:

Hanne-Grete it is great to hear that your quild is doing well! I really enjoy the name you've decided on and I do agree first the HST's then maybe the Applique.

Hanne-Grete - It sounds like things are going well. I bet they loved going home with something finished. Keep up the good work!
