Reminder: Guild meeting Tuesday and some special requests

Hello quilt fans! Ready for another great guild meeting?

Quilt of Valor presentation: Raincross Quilt Guild will be presenting a Quilt of Valor to a well deserving individual during our regular quilt guild meeting this month. As we will be enjoying the company of about 12 guests, Susan would like to invite more than our regular birthday snack bringers to bring something, if you feel so inclined, so that we have plenty to share with everyone. Susan is working on making sure we have enough seating so every is comfortable, but please be welcoming and accommodating for our special guests.

Sewing Notions for Yvonne: Wasn't it wonderful to have the opportunity to purchase those beautiful African fabrics last month and help support Yvonne Weinstein's missionary work in the process?! And how excited are you for the upcoming tea with Yvonne when she gets to spend some time with us this June (more details to follow). You may remember that Yvonne reached out to us via Paula to ask for some sewing notions a few months back - and she's reached out again! Yvonne said she needs Singer machine needles, hand sewing needles, bobbins (size 15), fusible interfacing, light gray thread, and small rick rack (preferably in black, brown, navy, and red). If you got some extras of these items in your stash, please bring them to the February guild meeting and give to Paula. She will collect them and get them sent to Yvonne.

We will start the 2020 Be My Neighbor block of the month in March - use this month to finish up your 2019 These Are A Few of My Favorite Things block of the month quilt and/or work on finishing up your 50% Challenge items to bring to the April meeting.

So, here's your full reminder list of things to bring:

• Your homemade name badge
• If you haven't paid yet, your $25 membership dues
• 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 February, May, or October, 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!

P. S. We are expecting that the two eggs laid by the eagles Jackie and Shadow up at Big Bear Lake to hatch any day now so it's a great time to hop on YouTube and enjoy the show!
