November - 2009
Ladies- enjoy the holidays by throwing some material under that walking foot!
TIES THAT BIND
Dinner Meeting is Wednesday, Dec. 16 @ 7:00 pm
December 2009
THOUGHTS OF THANKSGIVING 2009:
As another year comes to a close, please take the time to be thankful
for the daily blessings we receive. As quilters, we make items that
can be held, snuggled in, admired, and treasured. As Americans, we
have freedoms that many in this world can only dream about.
Happy Thanksgiving~
QUILT SHOW:
The 2009 Ties That Bind quilt show was another great success which
wouldn’t have happened without all of the help from our guild members
and their families and friends. Thank you ladies! (See Mary M for
details.)
