Holiday Bazaar Information

 

At our September Business Meeting, it was decided to have a table at the Holiday Bazaar for our annual fundraising event.

We also need members to work our table during the Bazaar. In the column on the right, there is a link that enables members to sign up for one or more 2 hour shifts.  We need a minimum of two members to work each shift.  More for the Set-Up and Clean-Up shifts would be appreciated.  Please sign up to help when you can.

Happy Thanksgiving!  Happy Quilting!

It's Time ... to Sew!

 November is here!  Let's quilt together this weekend!

Guild Update!

It was decided at our business meeting in September that with our quilt show in October, we wouldn't host a Tea and Auction this year.  Instead we will have a table at the Cordova Holiday Bazaar December 5th & 6th!  The plan is for members to donate items to be sold during that time.  Large items will be accepted, but we're really encouraging small items such as table toppers, pillows, potholders, hanging towels, etc.  Items that we would normally have as part of our Silent Auction.

Jackie is sharing this free pattern with members ... it will be available this weekend for anyone who would like to make one or some Hanging Tea Towels!  Several members have towels available for members to use in making them for the Bazaar.
