 | Palmetto Quilt Guild IncorporatedPROMOTING THE ART OF QUILTING IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA LOWCOUNTRY |
January 2021 PQG Membership Meeting January 21, 2021 Via Zoom 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM Social Hour begins at 12:00 Program: "Love Where You Create: It's Not a One Size Fits Solution" Learn to build a creative place that works for you, your space, your your budget and where you are right now. Speaker: Lilo BowmanLilo Bowman has worked as a floral designer translator, tour guide, wedding planner and is now editor-in-chief of the TheQuiltShow.com. Her work has been varied, often challenging, but always creative.
Since early childhood she has been instilled with the desire for and love of doing something with your hands, learned by observing the varied and beautiful items crafted by both of her grandmothers. Raised in a German culture, Lilo was always keenly aware of and fascinated with objects (whether utilitarian or decorative) that were attractively displayed while still being orderly. Food, travel (both as a military wife and tourist) and curiosity about other cultures have also played a large role in shaping Lilo's sense of taste and design and her understanding of how others prioritize the items they choose to have in their homes. Being surrounded by strong, independent and civic-minded female role models has instilled a sense of "you can do this" and "consider others" along the way.
When not working, Lilo travels, gardens, works on DIY projects with a ragtag bunch of rescue pets nearby and spends time with her extended, loud, noisy, always food- and travel-talking family. Check her website for more information: www.lilobowman.com Note: There will be no workshop in January. | Upcoming events

Guild Food Collections
In place of our November Holiday Luncheon, we collected food donations on November 19th. We collected over 100 pounds of food, children's shoes and over $260 for use in three of the food pantries in the area; Beaufort HELP, Bluffton Self Help and Sandalwood Community Food Pantry. Thank you to everyone who participated and to the member leaders. Community Service also provided 20 quilts to be distributed at Bluffton Self Help. Sandalwood Community Food Pantry said " Your support allows us to keep focused on feeding the Hungry as we move closer to our Dream of building a Safe Resilient Pantry to call home." |
