Yankee Quilters Welcomes Members New and Old to Fall Events
Yankee Quilters, a local guild of dedicated quilters, will begin its program year on Tuesday, September 10th at 7:00 PM at Emma’s Quilt Cupboard in the Horace Mann Plaza in Franklin. Quilters from new to experienced are welcome to join throughout the year.
Yankee’s Comfort Quilts team of dedicated members work together to create beautiful quilts for Dana Farber cancer patients, homeless/displaced children and for international aid groups through the “Wrap the World in Quilts” organization. Yankee members also contribute quilt blocks for Quilts of Valor for veterans. Each of these charity projects is a great opportunity for learning and practicing quilt skills with friendly volunteers using fabric provided by the guild. Comfort Quilts meets Mondays 10 – 2 at Emma’s Quilt Cupboard in Franklin.

| Yankee Quilters Welcomes Members New and Old to Fall Events |
Newcomers are encouraged to come and help get beautiful quilts into the hands of people who truly appreciate the gift. The nurses at Dana Farber – Milford recently sent a thank you note to the Yankee volunteers with confirmation that the quilts bring much joy. One nurse wrote “Our patients treasure them and feel the love. You all are making a difference.”
In addition to monthly meetings on the second Tuesday, the group offers speaker programs, member “show and tell” demonstrations and opportunities to sew together throughout the year including a four-day sewing vacation in the spring. Updates are posted on the group’s Facebook page.
In October, Yankee will collect used clothing, “soft goods” such as sheets and blankets, and books to raise funds for guild activities. Members use mostly donated materials to make these quilts; however, funds are needed for batting which adds warmth and texture to the quilt. This fundraiser also helps pay for lectures to improve members’ skills. The collection day will be Saturday, October 5th from 9 am to 12 Noon at Prime Storage, Route 126, in Bellingham. Details are available by writing to Yankeequilters11@gmail.com for drop-off or pick-up.
The regular Guild meeting on Tuesday, October 8th, will include a potluck supper, and a presentation on quilts that Yankee volunteers have donated for children. The first meeting for newcomers is free; annual dues for new members are $40.00; returning members $30.
This year’s Fall Staycation will be Friday October 18th to Sunday October 20th at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 600 Central Street, Holliston. Three different craft techniques will be offered include a Scrappy Log Cabin pattern, Barn Quilt Painting on wood, and Glass Etching. Prices, food and signup information are posted on Yankee’s page.
In November, a clinic on how to fix problem quilts will be given. Speakers Lynn Thibault of Leominster and Nancy Sullivan of Phillipston encourage members to bring quilts that need help, rulers that are difficult to use and questions about patterns.
For more information about any of these events, please contact YankeeQuilters11@gmail.com.
Yankee Quilters Guild is a 501-c-3 charitable organization based in Franklin with members throughout the region. The Guild meets on the second Tuesday each month at Emma’s Quilt Cupboard in Franklin, Horace Mann Plaza, East Central Street, Franklin in space generously donated by the store. Donations to the Guild are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by current law.

Davis Thayer Reuse Advisory Subcommittee met to approve meeting minutes with 6-0-3 vote via roll call (audio)
FM #1245 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1245 in the series.
This session shares the audio for the Davis Thayer Reuse Advisory Subcmte meeting held on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. The meeting was conducted in a hybrid manner from the Council Chambers.
2 members were in the Chambers, 3 remote via Zoom, and 1 via phone call (speaker phone) for a total of 6 of the 9 members participating and hence a quorum.
The purpose of the meeting was for the Committee to review and approve their prior meeting minutes which had been delayed in being prepared. Each set of minutes were raised for approval, seconded, and passed by the same 6 (yes) - 0 (no) - 3 (absent) vote via roll call. The 2 minutes for June 2024 were approved as amended to correct some name spellings for the Dean College participants.
The meeting adjourned when the approvals were complete. The recording runs about 18 minutes, so let’s listen in. Audio link -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1245-davis-thayer-reuse-subcmte-mtg-07-17-24/

Why are there multiple calendars?
There is a Cultural events calendar upon which other community events are layered to create the Community calendar.
Respectfully, the Library and Senior Center calendars are too full of events to include all their events so we tend to focus on the major events. Town and School meetings are also kept separate. Links for all the calendars are shared here:
The Cultural calendar displays only the cultural events
