March 2024

Spring is around the corner!  It teased us for a few days in February and looks like another bit of spring is on the way.  Indiana is so up and down!  If you are in our Mudsocks Facebook group, you may have seen Amanda’s “temperature” block for January – can’t wait to see her February block.

By the way, our Facebook group is “closed,” which means only paid members of Mudsocks have access.  So feel free to post in there knowing it is not seen read more

Noblesville

 

Cindy Reynolds died on February 22, 2024. She was the driving force behind starting Mudsock  Quilt Guild.

February President’s Letter

Mudsocks is off to a great 2024!  Our first meeting of the year gave us a chance to learn about the various committees and to see what fun the Program team has in store for us.  We had great participation in Committee sign-ups – and don’t worry, we will have lots of opportunities to help as the year progresses.

While the January Community Sew Day had to be canceled due to road conditions, the store room “strippers” have been busy re-arranging the shelves and creating quilt kits for read more
