Hello,  happy quilters! I hope you are easing back to normal after a difficult aftermath of the storm.

Here are the dates for October for our meetups at Lake Mayer: every Thursday from 12:30-3:30 for quilting. Also, Fridays October 11, and 18 for sewing of pillowcases from 10:00 til 2:00.

We will not be cutting fabric, only sewing the pillowcases. Please bring your machine, thread, scissors, pins and your lunch. Frances and Lanette will be available to answer questions.

We are also in need of solid fabrics to make cuffs to go with fabric that has been donated. We are also looking for holiday fabrics suitable for children as we ready the kits for the next couple of months. Thank you all for your donations and help. Debbie
