Happy Thanksgiving!

Don't let the turkeys get you down.

Reminder: Guild meeting is Today!! (if you get this on Tuesday)

Hi ladies! I kept thinking I already posted this aaaand...I hadn't! So hear you go, sorry it's a little late.

It's our annual Grab Game this meeting, so bring your finished casserole carriers in unmarked bags. And I know it's a busy time, but remember, this is a short week that ends in shopping and pie.

Here's your reminder list of things to bring:

• Your homemade and awesome casserole carrier in unmarked bag for the Grab Game
• Your homemade name badge
• Your block of the month
• Your Raincross Quilt Guild pin, which is worth an EXTRA ticket in the door prize drawing! If you don't have one, you can purchase one for $5 at the door.
• If you were born in January, June, or September, you're invited to bring a snack to share (but it's not required!).
• Bottled water or other non-alcoholic drink

See you all today (if you get this on Tuesday)!

Coming up at this month's Raincross Quilt Guild meeting...

It's time for our annual Grab Game! This year we're making casserole carriers, so whip up something awesome you'd really like to keep for yourself (or do what I did and just make two!) and bring it an unmarked bag. If you're looking for a free pattern, most of the links in this post are still available.

And yes, our guild meeting this month is the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week.

Other unique RQG activities coming up this month...

...has already happened! We had a fantastic time November 1-4th at the Campbell House in Twentynine Palms for our annual fall retreat. More news should be available soon for upcoming retreats, so keep saving your dollars!
