SUE SEMLER WILL PRESENT HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR AT PIONEER AREA QUILTERS GUILD

Pioneer Area Quilters Guild will meet on Monday, March 6 at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 1904 N. Pecan in Ponca City. The meeting schedule is as follows: 10:00 social hour, 10:30 am stitch and assist, 11:00 am to 12:00 pm business meeting including show and share, 12:00 pm program. Sue Semler will be the speaker with a lecture and trunk show titled Halloween Spooktacular. Sue is retired from St. Francis Hospital. Counted cross stitch for hobby and competition was her specialty for many years until she found her love for quilting. 1920’s and ’30’s fabric, Civil War reproduction fabric, and Halloween patterns and prints are her favorite media.

Sue lives Halloween all year and hopes participants at her presentation will not only have a great time but take away new ideas for their own projects.

The hospitality committee will provide water and tea. Attendees should bring their own covered drink cup and may bring their own food.

If you have questions or need further information, please contact president Kim Walling at 918-214-4060 or tundratoy71@ yahoo.com. Guests are always welcome to attend, however, we do ask they join the group after two visits.
