2005-2006 RAFFLE QUILT GONE!

WELL, our Midnight Garden is gone. BOOHOO! Michelle Anderson of Wylie, TX was the winner and I'm sure she has THE special place for our beautiful quilt. It was so much fun being involved with this raffle quilt and I just want to say one more BIG thank you to Cindy Tubb for everything she did with the ticket sales, bookkeeping, sitter sign-ups and just basically keeping track of everything. Also one more shout of thanks to all the gals who stitched on the quilt and to Janet for a fantastic job of machine quilting.

GUILD MEETING LOCATION SHIFTED TO SANCTUARY

Guild meeting Tuesday, February 15th, 7:00; Social Gathering at 6:30

Location is the sanctuary of the same building – entrance is at the right end of the same building in which we normally meet. This is the entrance by the circular drive. There will be a church production in our regular location. This is NOT the Hallelujah House where we sometimes have workshops. Best place to park will be to the right as you enter the parking lot – up the hill.
