Happy New Year
2011 is well underway. We are looking forward to a prosperous year for the guild.
Our last meeting of 2010 was our Christmas party December 11. It was a special gathering--a reunion of present and past members of Wise County Quilt Guild. It was wonderful to see everyone. The drawing for our donation quilt was one of the highlights. We had a number of baby quilts and blankets for Wise Choices Pregnancy Resource Center along with Christmas Stockings for C.A.S.A. of Wise and Jack counties.
There was also presentations of quilts to Wise Choices PRC and Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary. There was a drawing from those in attendance and Patsy Harris, Commander of the Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary Unit 70 of Decatur won. Oh, Patsy, you are one fortunate lady! This particular quilt has over 5,000 pieces in it.Virginia (Ginnie) Wood made and donated a number of quilt tops to the guild. Karen and others machine quilted several and these were the quilts presented. Ginnie Wood is not a member of our guild--but we sure hope that she becomes one.
And what's a party without DOOR PRIZES! Thanks to all the individuals and businesses who made our event special.
January meeting--
The nominations committee will present the slate of officers. Our program will be brought by several members demonstrating specialty rulers. If you are in our area you are invited. Fat quarter to bring for our fat quarter lotto--juvenile print.
Until next time,
Marilyn
