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 and sunsets. I’ve
been mindful of one of our previous speakers who encouraged us to look to nature for color
inspiration—some great ideas for future quilts! And yes, my husband even went inside a fabric store
with me!
The next few weeks will be busy ones for the Guild as we wind down the year.

Tuesday, November 11th (Veterans Day): Quilts of Valor presentation – a meaningful way to wrap
up a wonderful week. See QOV article.
Happy Quilting!
