Mignon Faget to donate Arrow Pin to MS Alpha


Dear Pi Phi Sisters:

I have some very exciting news to share with you. Mignon Faget, a well-known jeweler out of New Orleans, has agreed to donate an arrow pin to our new house for our 50th anniversary. The arrow will be put in a shadowbox and placed on the wall. Tricia Sarpy, Mignon Faget representative, will be joining us for our anniversary on April 9, 2011 to present the arrow. Tricia will also be bringing several of Mignon's pieces if you are interested in ordering. You can view her beautiful jewelry on www.mignonfaget.com. Please let me know which pieces you are interested in and Tricia will bring them. You can email me at fultonstef@aol.com to let me know your favorites. Please add the anniversary date of April 9, 2011 to your calendar. This is going to be a very exciting day for Ms Alpha.

In Pi Phi,

MS Alpha in Spring 2010--The Arrow

Way to Go Mrs. Kathryn, You always make us PROUD!!!!


Have you received your Spring Arrow yet? If you have and have read it? If you have read it, you might have seen MS Alpha and Hattiesburg Alum Club member Kathryn Lewis featured in it. On page 32, Kathryn's book, "The Longleaf and me A-Z" is feathered in Pi Phi Pens.

"The Longleaf and Me A-Z" is a collaborative effort by Mississippi Alpha Kathryn Schledwitz Lewis, Sandra Cassibry and Jeffery Jones. Thebook combines scientific information with artwork created by collegiate and elementary students and teaches children about Mississippi wildlife. It shows what the animals look like, which animals survive in the area's humid climate and illustrates the animals' dies and habitats.

Be sure to go purchase the book for your Pi Phi Angel(s)!!!

T-Shirt Quilts--Made by MS Alpha!!!!

Need a Quilt???? Sylvia has you "covered"
I (Sylvia Blissett, MS Alpha Alumnae & member of Hattiesburg Alum Club) make one of a kind T-Shirt Quits in 2 sizes 78X78 ($400) and 90X90 ($450). You only provide the T-shirts either 12 or 16. Never cut your T-shirts. Let me do that work for you. I also quilt for the public. If you have a quilt top you need quilted. Price is determined by (1.) The size of the quilt. I charge 1 and 1/2 cents per square inch. for an over all design. If you want a "custom" quilted top, I will discuss with you what you are willing to pay. The starting price is 2 cents per square inch and increases as the design you want gets more complicated. You must provide the backing and the batting. This I can pick up for you but would, of course, be added to the price. Also, if you are going to provide the materials, I would need to discuss with you the appropriate size and fabric content. Plain quilt tops can come "alive" with good quilting. To check my work please check my pictures at www.webshots.com in the search bar type in justsewsimple as one word. You can tell what are the t-shirt quilt and which are not. Please contact me if I can help you. I do quilts on a first come first serve basis. When you bring your needs to me I will get to them at my earliest opening, sometimes that is the next week sometimes it is several weeks depending on the number of quilts ahead of yours. If I can assist you, please call.
