  Holiday Happenings

  
  

  
  

  Join us for a delicious holiday luncheon, the President's Challenge Voting, and a fun opportunity to contribute to the guild's operating and program expenses via a chance to donate and a drawing to win quilting supplies and notions.  A $5 donation to help offset costs will be requested at the door (correct change is greatly appreciated), and comes with 5 tickets for the drawing.  Additional tickets to raise money for the guild are available.

  President's Challenge details are on the website here.   

  Anita King will again graciously head up the food team. She's planning a feast with Ham and Turkey provided by the guild, but asks that everyone sign up to bring something to share (ready to serve, with serving utensil) at 11:30. She's got a sign up sheet started to keep track & balance things so we don't all bring the same thing :). Please email Anita if you need to sign up. Additional details on what to bring will be forthcoming.

  There will be no "Back Table" at the party. This meeting is being offered over zoom and in person at St. Giles Church located at 8271 52nd St. N, Pinellas Park, FL 33781.  Food donations to the food pantry at St. Giles are greatly appreciated. The need is great, especially during the holidays.

  To permit planning/shopping, registration is required, and will close at 10 AM on Dec. 11. Please register early. A few late registrations may be able to be accomodated, so please call Marie to see if anyone has cancelled if you are suddenly able to attend after the deadline.

  Join us for a fun mid-week project morning on the third Wedneday of the month.  This is a great time to work along with others on whatever needs doing, whether at home or at St. Giles.  You might bring your machine and a project to work on, some planning sheets to calculate what you need for upcoming projects, your English Paper Piecing  on-the-go kit, an applique' project, something to bind, or whatever you desire.  You don't necessarily have to bring your machine but are welcome to.

  Whether in person or over zoom, it's a great opportunity for togetherness.  For those in person, it's another opportunity to head out to lunch afterwards to one of the diners nearby.  Please make sure all the quilters present feel invited to join in.

  Note: The floors must be swept, tables wiped, and chairs cleared of threads and returned to original position prior to leaving the room.

   We will be meeting in person at St. Giles Church located at 8271 52nd St. N, Pinellas Park, FL 3378; it will also be available over Zoom. 
  

  Feel free to bring snacks and a beverage.  A refrigerator is available.
