December Meeting  

President's Message

​Hi ya’ll!  By the time you read this, Thanksgiving will be over.  We have hopefully had our fill of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and of course the turkey sandwich.  I sometimes think that Thanksgiving dinner is just an excuse to have a turkey sandwich later while watching football!  I had my sister and brother-in-law over and we had a wonderful dinner and a 5-day visit.  My sister is a quilter also, so we spent a lot of time in my sewing room between putting up the Christmas decorations.  That means we are now on to the Holiday season, whether it be Christmas or Hannukah.   I am sending my thoughts to each and every one of you that the Holiday’s bring you, as the old carol says, comfort and joy.   Speaking of joy, your Board has planned a wonderful Christmas lunch for you.  Lisa Martin (your membership chair) is making table runners to decorate the tables.  Cathy Woodson (your 2nd Vice President) is getting the table cloths.  Please bring a brown bag lunch and as many fat quarters as you can spare.  We will have a show and tell of green and red quilts or Christmas quilts during our stated meeting, so bring any and all your quilts that are red and green to show to everyone.  During the luncheon, we will play games with the assorted fat quarters as prizes.  The guild will provide water and tea, and the Board will provide home baked cookies for dessert.  You don’t want to miss this!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah,
Sherry Gary
