The Mystery Box

The Mystery box is so much fun and what a bargain!  Nice stuff can be yours for only a dollar.  But we need donations to keep offering it.  We don't really want to start buying items for it.  And you can help.  Why not go through your sewing room and see if there are any like new item your willing to part with.  It's for a good cause.  All proceeds go toward Community Service.  Any donations can be dropped off at the Quilters Thrifty Corner.  Liliana and her helpers will be thrilled with what you bring.  And so will the Mystery Box winner!

Will there be a box next month?

Our mystery boxes have been a great hit!  You seem to like them as we've had a lot of monetary donations from you.  Thank you!  If the trend continues we'll be able to do another 200 bags for this coming Christmas.

Many of you also donated items for the bags last year.  That was such a wonderful thing you did!  It made us deliver wonderful bags to those children at the Loma Linda Children's Cancer Center.  We would really appreciated your doing it again if you feel so inclined.  Needed are crayons, stuffed animals, books, puzzles, cards, etc.

Again, thank you for your continued help with Community Service - we couldn't do it without you.

Good Time had by All

And the winner is.............

at our March quilt guild meeting that is.  Lots of good food - thank you, Ladies!!  Wonderful show n share, and a great mystery box, that a mystery person won (I'm blushing that I don't know this member - If you know who it was, please leave a comment and let us know - all I do remember is that she does beautiful quilting.  Then we'll know who to ask about the great items she won and how she likes them).  And we had Tool-Time Tilly as our guest speaker.  That was fun, we learned some things, and there were prizes!! - that was an unexpected bonus.

Tilly shared a lot of tips about the quilting process and some of the members helped by also giving us some.  If you remembered one she gave us (I was too busy taking pics to jot them down), or know of one not mentioned and you'd like to share, leave a comment to this post.  We'd be thrilled to learn more.
