PRESIDENT’S NOTE
Dear Guild Friends,
I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Now it is on to the Holiday season!! Didn’t we just put our Christmas decorations away after last Christmas?
I am looking forward to our Christmas party, as I am sure you are as well. If you didn’t sign up to bring something for our potluck dinner, please bring a salad or a side dish. We will be having an ornament exchange. If you wish to participate, bring an ornament with you! Don’t forget your Christmas show and tell. A big thank you to Heather Mantz for chairing this event again this year!!
Comfort Quilts need your help!! As you know it is our guild’s charitable project. Kathy Warnick, our wonderful chair, needs more members to help quilt the quilts. This is a good opportunity to practice your machine quilting skills!! Please let her know if you can help, or just pick up a kit from her at the guild meeting.
Don’t forget to bring your finished Block of the Month also to the guild meeting to share. We love seeing everyone’s blocks even if you are a few months behind or have just joined the fun!
See you at the Christmas party!!
Happy quilting!Katie McMullen

COMFORT QUILTS
Unfortunately, I was ill and unable to attend the last guild meeting. Marcia once again moved up to the plate. Thanks to you, Marcia, for being a great cohort in crime!!! Marcia did say Barbara Sweet would takeover making up breast cancer kits for us. Why is it the busiest folks are the ones who step up to help? Thank you very much, Barbara, for always being there. (I have fabric, patterns and bags for you. Please don't buy anything.) Now we just need more people to help with making kits for dresses, preemie hearts, and Alzheimer's Figit kits. I have plenty of supplies for all of these. There will never be any expense on your part unless you wish to donate more than your time. This really is not that time consuming individually. Just making kits for each month. Please help us keep the giving going.Marcia said 13 quilts were turned in, 2 dresses, and 12 hearts. Thanks to all that are so generous with their time and talent. I have plenty of batting for those making quilts from our stash. I always have some quilts with batting in them. Not all, but at least 4 or 5. Some ladies however like to use their own so we leave some kits without batting. I will start bringing batting bundles for those who wish to use it.We also are in desperate need for some long-armers or free-motion quilters to help finish the quilts. If you can volunteer for this, we have plenty of ladies willing to bind. Thank you!!!Have a wonderful Thanksgiving to everyone! Enjoy your family and friends and for heaven’s sake – hide the scales!!! Who cares?! Let's party, people! Thank you,Kathy and Marcia
