Member News 10/19/11

As most of you know, Alice took a fall coming to the meeting.  911 was called and both the Rescue Squad and an ambulance came.  Debbie Warner was helping till they arrived.  Debbie said to Alice:  "Well, one thing about this is you get to have all these young, handsome, firefighters here for you."  So when they asked her how old she was, Alice promptly said  "16".   That's our Alice!    BTW:  she spent about 3 hours at the emergency room, and then they gave her the okay to go home.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for her!

It was good to see two members back after health related issues.  Christie Fowler and Christine Sharp were there last night.  Christie was walking a little gingerly after her back surgery.  Christine was there with the neatest hairband.  She is half way through her chemo and feeling great!  It was great to see you both again with us.

On a sad note, Linda Hicks lost her son in an airplane accident.  Linda, we send you quilty hugs for you and your family and also our deepest sympathy on your loss.

Dog Pillows - Cat Quilts - Charity Quilts


http://www.etsy.com/listing/19696309/custom-black-toile-pet-dog-cat-bed-crate
 Ginger's Quilt Shoppe has generously supplied space in their shop. Their patrons have been saving and bringing in fabric scraps and batting scraps for us to use in our charity projects. I have bags and bags of scraps and batting pieces, and no time to do anything with them. What I usually do is sort them out, keeping the pieces big enough to use in charity quilts aside, and cutting up the smaller pieces for dog quilts. If you are interested in taking some of these bags off my hands and processing them, please contact me.  My number is in the guild directory. I will be happy to deliver them to you, or I can bring them to guild. If I am unable to get volunteers to help with this,  I will have to tell Ginger to stop collecting for us. Thank you for your time, Karen Dunivent.
