community service project.  We are asking everyone to bring a Fat Quarter, color of your choice, but it
must be 100% cotton.  We will be working on a raffle quilt for God's Pit Crew.  We will work in teams...
some cutting, some sewing, some ironing.  Please bring a bag lunch.  Bring you sewing supplies and fabric
and we will chose teams once we see who attends.

Gift:  The guild would like to thank the family of Martha Gray-McCauley for  donating her quilting books

Friend.   Everyone loved her and she has  truly been missed.

Incentive Program:  This year the Guild officers are offering a "Incentive Program".  In December
2012 at the Christmas party, we will give away to one lucky member a very nice large Christmas Basket
filled with sewing items.  Each month we will purchase a item to fill the basket,
we are also asking
members to bring 1 sewing or quilting item  each month
 to also be included.  Now for the fun part.  
Each time you participate in something, your name will go into the drawing.....example: attend the
meeting, bring a guest, show & tell something, do a community service item and in one night you could
have already received 4 chances, over a 12 month period your name could be entered no telling how
many times.   Anything you do to participate in the Guild will  earn extra entries into the drawing.  
Remember when purchasing items for the basket, always use your Hobby Lobby and Joann's coupons.  
Also, all items must be new and un-opened.
