We will have show-and-tell, so bring your eye candy along.

Thank you!
You have stepped up and responded to our plea for contributions to Delaware Township Food Pantry! Thank you to Jan D. for collecting the items and monetary donations and transporting them to the Delaware Township Offices. The table was full of food items, and we took in close to $350.00 in offerings. We are so happy that we can say that this group is a very giving and generous guild.

November President’s Letter
Do you keep your pumpkins and fall décor up for Thanksgiving, or are you an early Christmas
decorator? We’ve always been early. Our tradition has been to put up the tree and lights for my
daughter’s mid-November birthday because she loves them so much. We’ve continued that tradition
as empty nesters. My quilting tends to slow down this time of year with all the holiday activities.
We’ve been enjoying the beauty of fall and have seen some gorgeous sunrises

October President’s Letter
September was a blur. Little did we know at our last guild meeting what was about to unfold. That
afternoon and the following morning, texts, emails, and phone calls began regarding the need to vacate
the Community storeroom. I am so grateful for the quick action of the executive board – difficult
decisions were made unanimously, and a clear action plan was set. On September 29th, we emptied
the last bin of fabric and officially closed the storeroom doors.
We

Guest Speaker for September Meeting
September 8th, we will have Maureen Weflen joining us for a sampling of her rather large antique quilt collection. She is a world traveler and has some great stories about where some of these quilts have come from.
September President’s Letter
I love these cooler temperatures! Fall is my favorite season. I had my 1st pumpkin drink this morning so it’s official! I am currently working on a quilt with the Northcott Fall Splendor fabric collection, maybe I’ll finish it in time to use this year?
I am excited to attend the Great Wisconsin Quilt show with some of you. It will be fun to see so many quilts from our guild there. Quilt shows are a great way to get new ideas and inspiration. The Quilters Guild of Indianapolis Quilt Show
It’s a SCAM!
The scammers are at it again. Amy received an email that appears to be from Mary Boyden (but from a different email address) requesting that she purchase gift cards on behalf of the guild for Veterans. No one from the guild will ever ask you to buy gift cards.
August President’s Letter
Another busy month, those grandkids keep showing up! It is too hot to swim in our neighborhood pool this week, so I will have some sewing time. I have a couple of quilts ready to quilt and bound a quilt since the heat has run me inside.
Our quilt challenge this year was the best since I have been a member. Your creations were amazing. The stories of the why, how, and behind the creations were heartwarming. Your creativity and willingness to try new things ais astounding. Our guild members
A Proposed Change to the Bylaws
Please review the proposed bylaws. We will vote in August on whether to accept the changes or not.
July President’s Letter
Where is summer rapidly going? One more month and the grandkids are back in school! Catching up on sleep after the long Pacer run, glad I was retired with all of the late games. All of you shop hoppers, how did you do? I made it to over half the stores and visited 4 regions, completed 2 of them. I found a few shops that I will return to, some really surprised me. My sister and I shopped together, drove over 1,000 miles and spent way too much money! We wandered through southern Indiana for
Calling all Embroiderers
Our guild supports the Cornerstone Lutheran Comfort Dog, Magdalene, by creating scarves that attach to her special collar.
Many people are willing to sew simple scarves; however, they do not have the equipment needed to embroider the front of the scarf.
Can you help?
You can either do the embroidery on a piece of 18.5″ x 12” fabric of your own selection (storeroom fabrics are OK for this) OR pick up one of the kits near the membership table at the next meeting. You don’t have to finish
