     Addition:

  • Dear Bees – On Tuesday January 18th (which is our Charity Day/ Sit-and-Sew) a group of ladies will join us with fabric to sell. They have made a quilt store close-out purchase and will have quality quilting fabric to sell for $3.00 a yard. All the proceeds go toward a local Children’s Home Charity. This is the perfect opportunity to help with a charity and, if you like, purchase a yard or two to donate to our fabric closet and pick up quilting fabric for your own personal stash. Looking forward to seeing all of you after the holiday crunch and hear how lovely your Christmas was with family and friends. Be blessed bunches my friends. ~ Carolyn   CANCELLED

     Addition:
  • November 2, 2010: Darla Wolf will be speaking to the Guild about My Very Own Bag, one of the charities we have chosen to make quilts for.

  • 4 or 5 handkerchiefs; trims, buttons, lace, etc. to coordinate or purchase a kit from Sue
