meeting. Just sign up your ufo’s with
Jessie. A quilt can be added anytime
during the year.

The guild will making charity quilts will go to
Generations Hospice, OLOL Children’s Hospital and The Cancer Services. We will also continue to make the stuffed
teddy bears to donate for the Children’s Hospital. The quilts you make need be no smaller than 50 x 60. You may use any pattern you wish. Need more bears sewn to be stuffed at the
Giving Quilt Show.
Just Do It – Pam Tennyson
Sew Day was a success.
“Quilt in a Box” involves each member picking a box to make for
everyone. We would end up with 12
blocks that are 12 inches in size. Pam
will email the instructions. The Giving
Quilt challenge involves making a quilt using the red dimple fabric in it.
Program
Renee issued a challenge that we join GSQA as a
