Dear Friends,
The Quilts of Valor Committee is asking for your help to make one or more blocks to create many quilts for honored veteran recipients in 2025. We will be turning in our completed blocks at the January meeting, so we hope you have time in this busy season to put together a block (or several) for a veteran.
Please join us on Monday, November 11th, to hear our presenter, Julie Boldry of The Scarlet Thread Quilt Company in Twelve Mile, IN. She will be giving us a trunk show of her quilts that will include a decade of quilts featuring several patterns original to her shop! She will also be vending so bring your cash, checkbook or credit card!! See you then!
Dear Friends, 
At the October meeting we had the honor of gifting a quilt made of neck scarves for a comfort dog that had passed away. Naomi was the dog’s name and several guild members worked on the quilt from piecing the scarves to quilting it. Naomi’s handler was in tears as the quilt was presented to her.
The board meeting scheduled for September 6 has been rescheduled to August 30th.
Our June presentation was given by Nancy Rolfsema of Quilting with Nancy. We were ooohd and aaahd by her beautiful New York Beauty quilts.
We all had a blast at the workshop Nancy hosted the following day on paper piecing the New York Beauty.
