September 2002

 

From the President:

 

Hello Ladies,

 What a month this is going to be!! First of all, for those of you who were aware that my mother was in the hospital, thank you so much for yopur cards, thoughts and visits. As you can imagine, my time with the guild is going to be very restrained. My mother is in for the long haul.

 

Regarding the Fall Festival Guild Committee, Deanna is just a little fireball. Committee people doing their jobs and everything is falling into line.  A special thanks to all of you who are responding to Pat  Pillard’s calls for signups. Applause, applause.

 

Thank you, Thank you Thank you to Sylvia Martin, Dale Manning and Pat Sparks. With almost all of my time being at the hopsital, they took things into hand and have already finished the Fall library wall hanging and with the help of others they will proceed with the Orange one at the Day Circle. A super thanks to Sharon Callahan for quilting the Purple wall hanging (and I might add under vewry stressful home conditions).

 

There is just one wall hanging left for the library and that is : Winter. Any kind of winter scene, colors, Christmas, etc.

 

Once again Slyvia was called from Sew Many Quilts to come and get more material. Theyt are already cut into blocks. She’ll bring them to our next meeting. I think we’re going to need a committee to make some decisions about how to best put all these wonderful donations from Zella to uise.

 

Hear ye, Hear ye wonderful quilt guild members!!! It’s time to step up to the plate. Pat Pillard (chairman), Pat Sparks, and Roberta Vanderburg will be approaching you to see who wants to serve on our Board next year.  Without a strong, active board, iot’s very difficult to grow and accomplish all these fantastic things we’re doing. It takes leadership ladies….come on…be a part of that leadership. See you at our Fall Festival Quilt Show with bells on…your president

Directions to Roberta’s:

 

Take 19 north toward Paris.  Take the first county road to the right after the roadside park (#4588)

Follow 4588 for approximately 2 miles until it “T” into County Road 4586; turn right onto 4586. 4586 will make a sharp left turn . Our driveway is at the turn on the right side of the road (the 1st right on 4586). The sewing room is approximately 600 feet up the driveway.  Drive slow as the driveway is packed dirt.

 

A special Thank You to everyone who has donated door prizes.
