HAPPY NEW YEAR!
(I'm only two weeks late)
We've got a lot coming up this month:
Quilter's Closet Cleanout - It's a new year and time to tidy your sewing room and cupboards and get rid of fabric, notions, tools, and items you know you're simply not going to use. Bring your new or gently used items to sell at our January guild meeting. You are invited to make a donation from the proceeds of your sales to our Charity bank account, but it's not required. You are required, however, to TAKE HOME ANYTHING YOU DON'T SELL. If you don't want it, please throw it away at the end of the night.
2019 Round Robin Exchange - This is our FINAL exchange, so please finish the top you got at the November meeting and bring it to the January guild meeting in the original bag and with any leftover fabric AND add your name to the sign in sheet in the bag. Remember, once you get your top back, you can do whatever you like with it! If you'd like to finish it and bring it back to show it off, please feel free to do so at any meeting. And thank you for a great exchange!
2020 Memberships are due - Our 2020 Raincross Quilt Guild memberships are due this month, so be sure to bring $25 cash or checks made out to "Raincross Quilt Guild" (the bank won't accept checks made out to "RQG") to the meeting to give to Dawn M. You must pay your membership this month to be included in our annual directory. Contact Dawn M. if you have any questions. Membership sign in sheets will be updated for our March meeting, so please be patient with us if you've just joined and don't see your name on the sign in sheet at either the January or February meeting.
2020 Mystery Box Sign Ups - We're looking for volunteers to sign up to put together the mystery box! We are encouraging teams of people (2+) to participate as it's fun project and many hands make the work easy. Andie B. will be answering questions and taking sign ups at the January guild meeting.
2020 Quilt of Valor Sew Day - While technically this is the first day of February, we're announcing it now. More details coming in a blog post
tomorrow, but the short of it: February 1st, 9am-3pm, Riverside Community College District, Office of Economic Development, 23555 Meyer Drive, Riverside, please register here:

And um...I think there's a
quilt show or something happening...
So, here's your full reminder list of things to bring:
- Your homemade name badge
- Your December 2019 BOM
- Your final Round Robin exchange
- Your $25 membership dues
- Your yard sale items
- 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 have a birthday in January, June, or September, you are invited to bring a snack or dish to share (but it's not required)
- Bottled water or other non-alcoholic drink
See you all Tuesday!
