Glade Fantastic Quilt Guild to meet Friday

The regular Membership Meeting of the Fairfield Glade Fantastic Quilt Guild will be held on Friday, September 16 at the FFG Methodist Church Fellowship Hall.

A short Business Meeting will be held at 9 AM, followed by the program which will feature avid seamstress and quilter Joan Derylak, who will present her Trunk Show “Figure Flattering Quiltwear”. Joan has been sewing since the age of 7.

Her specialty is tailoring, having tailored a man’s dress suit as well as many ladies business suits for herself. Joan’s late mother wanted her to major in home economics at college so that she could teach sewing in high school. In the early 70’s, this seemed to lack glamour to Joan, so she majored in math and minored in management science at the State University of New York at Geneseo, NY, graduating in 1975 with a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. She ended up working as an accountant for many years and started her own payroll service in 1992, serving over 100 clients. After selling the payroll service in 1999, Joan bought her first brand new sewing machine, a Bernina. Thinking….. “boy this is expensive…..”, she wanted to make good use of her purchase. So she joined the Nimble Thimbles Quilting Guild in Mauldin, SC with a friend in 2000, and she has been quilting ever since. She is an active member and former treasurer of Quilters of South Carolina, the SC state guild. She is also a member of American Quilt Guild and American Sewing Guild. After her trunk Show, that same afternoon and the following day (September 17) Joan will be leading a workshop on the traditional Bargello Jacket made from her original designs. To see many examples of her designs, check out Joan’s website www.FigureFlatteringQuiltwear.com.

The Fantastic Quilt Guild is a local group of 100 quilters who meet on the third Friday of the month at the Fairfield Glade United Methodist Church to further the art of quilting through education, sharing, community outreach, and social camaraderie.  New members and visitors are always welcome.

You are invited to join the congregation at the Church of Christ in the Glade, 128 Wilshire Heights Drive, for “Movie Night” on Friday evening, September16, beginning at 6:30, when Far from Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog will be shown.

Volunteers needed

Are you looking for a way to give back to your community and learn more about tax return preparation?  You could be a part of a team of volunteers that provide free tax services to our community.

As a volunteer, you’ll join a program that’s helped millions of people file tax returns at no charge for more than 40 years.

Last year the AARP Tax-Aide volunteers at the 6 regional sites completed over 2500 returns, federal and state, and assisted many more people to determine their need to file.

These volunteers, trained and certified with the cooperation of the Internal Revenue Service, work at locations in Tansi, Sparta, Pleasant Hill, Jamestown, Fairfield Glade and Crossville.   New volunteers are always needed.  If you would like to be involved, but aren’t sure if you want to prepare returns, consider working at one of the sites greeting clients, checking identification and/or organizing the paperwork.

For more information about the program or to arrange to attend training, call 456-4212.
