Happy New Year..... Looking forward to seeing everyone again now that the holidays are behind us. But now to get ready for our quilt show coming up in March. Don't forget to fill out your registration forms, we like to have every member put in at least one quilt in the show. Also, you can fill out a form for a quilt even if it isn't completed yet, as long as you can have it done by the show set-up day.

AN EXTRA NIGHT OUT - Sit, Sew & Social at Beth H. home. This is an informal gathering of the night guild members to bring projects, ideas, questions &/or problems you may need help with. If you don't already belong to a mini group, this is your opportunity to see if this is something you'd like to be a part of. These extra once a month outings are on the calendar. Bring your sewing machine or bring some hand sewing or just come to visit. We all like "Show & Tell" and your projects don't have to be finished for us to enjoy seeing them. Hopefully in the future the group may want to do a "Round Robin" or "Friendship Quilts" together. Until then, happy quilting!

EXTRA SPECIAL NIGHTS OUT at Beth's home. Beth has decided to offer additional outings at her house, but they will not be on the calendar. When a time is available to her, she will email the night members of the dates & time. These most likely will be on short notice, so you will have to check your email on a regular bases to take advantage of these events.

BASTING YOUR QUILTS - The guild as service to our members offers help in basting members quilts. The quilts can be basted with thread or by pins. The guild supplies the thread, but if you prefer pins you need to bring your own. We have table stored which can be set up so we can tape or clip your quilts to the tables. YOU WILL NEED TO CALL TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT either with Tracy or Beth so they will be prepared.
