November meeting recap

Hello out there again, all you quilty people!

Reminders for members: dues for 2017 must be paid by December 31. Please note that in 2017, meetings will be held at the Hopewell Presbyterian Church to accommodate our growing guild, starting on January 11.

Now we have a picture or two to tide you over until the December meeting!

Jess S finished quilting our QuiltCon charity quilt, and now it's being labeled and bound.

We had a challenge with the theme of FIVE for the guild's upcoming fifth birthday. Our members had a few different takes on the theme..

The Guild Bee made blocks for Jamee. She asked them to make something with a word that reminded them of nature, so I'm posting some closer shots that you can read.
