We had a lovely new member gathering in late October. It was great to have both new and “old” members meet in a more intimate setting – although maybe a little too intimate as 2 of us tested positive for Covid a few days later – and we were both fully vaccinated! The point of the gathering is to make new friends and learn more about the guild activities. Going forward in 2024 please consider going to one of the quarterly gatherings no matter how long you’ve been in the guild.
We will begin collecting dues for the 2024 year. Please bring your dues in a self addressed envelope with your member number, if you know it, to the meeting. If you do not know your member number it’s OK, it’s your name we need!

Hi, I’m Shelia C, a guild member, and I’ve had a call on my heart to do something special for my sister-in-law who lives in New Orleans and has been battling metastatic breast cancer the past 4 years. It’s active again and she undergoing treatment.I’m asking for donations of pink fabric scraps so I can begin this calling and use all the remaining fabrics I receive for other quilts for breast cancer.I will be at this next month and would love to take home a bundle of scraps to begin creating for those loved ones walking the path with breast cancer. I will have a basket at the meeting for the donations and I thank everyone who participates in “My walk with Mary”, my name for this calling. If each contribute a little we can do lots! Little bits of fabric will make a lot of love and surround her at this difficult time in her car journey between her home town in New Orleans to Houston for her treatments at MD Anderson Houston, TX.Thank you in advance…I appreciate your time.
The wonderful Storeroom Strippers put together a Brown Bag Mystery QAL for Community Charity Quilts. They dug into the scraps and strips and came up with over 50 Brown Bag Mystery Quilts to be distributed amongst guild members for construction and completion. At the September meeting we had a Parade of the Brown Bags! 40 quilts were paraded across the stage and down the aisles to show the members, new and old, what the guild can do when a great group of gals puts their minds to our brawn!
