MEETING REMINDERS
Fat Quarter Club - This month's theme is Fall. Bring a fat quarter for the drawing if you'd like to participate.
If you have any pillowcases or kids quilts made, they will go to the State Hospital in Terrell. We will begin working on throws for foster kids - our goal is 40 by Christmas.
The Row-by-Row challenge for the new year is called "Rows Parade". The link to the pattern is in the newsletter!
Bring you ALS quilt blocks to the meeting this month. Rachael will collect them and start piecing the quilts.
Quilty Peeps,
Can you believe the next time we will all be together it will be November? Time is flying by; I never believed that time moved so fast as a child. It seemed like forever for December and Santa. Now, I’m still trying to recover from Santa, and it’s already time again. I am in packing mode now getting ready to leave for Reno. I am so excited to take this trip. Debbie and I always have a great time on our adventures. We may look like the Beverly Hillbillies on our return though. We are offering transport to and from the convention. It looks like Debbie may have a rabbit in her lap on the way back! 🤣 Also, Reno starts our new show season, so Debbie and I will be on the road quite a bit for the next several months. While in Reno, I will be running for a Director position for the National Lilac Club. (Pray for me.)
I hope many of you will participate in our new sew along “Rows Parade” quilt! The first row is due at the November meeting. I went to a quilter’s estate sale last week The lady who was having the sale told me that her mom has a shopping issue, not a quilting issue! 🤣 I bought several kits, and she donated several quilt tops and pillowcases for our CPS kids. If anyone can quilt one let me know, and I’ll bring them to the meeting. The person who created the tops was LouJane Brandenburgh from the Sulphur Springs quilt guild. If you know her, please tell her thank you. We are still working on getting quilts for the kids for Christmas, so dig into your piles and bring them to the meeting. I’m excited about the quilts for Terrell State Hospital’s kids. I have several yards of fabric ready to put together for donation quilts. Maybe I can get a couple together before the next meeting!
Love,
Hope
