December 16 meeting, and all future meetings will start at 6 pm not 6:30. Doors open at 5:30pm as always.
Our December meeting will be our all-members potluck followed by the drawing for the big basket. It’s great stuff. Read the list of contents below.
Our What’s in my Stash exchange challenge project is due in January.
Dear quilters,
This is a love letter to each and every one of you – special people who are talented in so many ways and who are willing to share their knowledge and expertise with others ❤️. I’m always amazed at what you all produce! And, such variety! We’d like to spotlight some of our members as guest speakers in the upcoming months. Think about what you’d like to share with us and maybe buddy up with someone – safety in numbers, you know!
I think a few people were put off by the threat of rain at the last meeting, but those that attended had a great time! The winter-themed exchange was lots of fun and everyone participating went home with something beautiful!
Please take a look at the proposed budget on the website – we’ll be voting on it at the Dec meeting. Which, by the way, will be on our regular 3rd Tuesday of the month – 16th. It’s our everyone-bring-something potluck, so find that special recipe and wow us with it.
I hope you are all able to do something special with family or friends for Thanksgiving. I plan on dinner at a restaurant – no turkey, maybe splurge on a steak! Whatever you do – enjoy!
Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving and I’ll be thinking of all of you finishing up those Christmas projects!
