Great news quilt fans! We've been able to procure our normal meeting room at the Goeske Center for Tuesday, January 31st! We'll be meeting at the normal time, 6pm, in the normal room, at the normal place, just two weeks later than normal!
We will also be taking memberships - the cost is $25 for year payable by check or cash (exact change appreciated). Everyone needs to fill out 2023 membership form, which you print and fill out to bring with you or fill out at the meeting.
The retreat teams will also be taking deposits for this year's Vinya de Lesstonac, aka The Nunnery, retreat in May, which will be May 12-14. The total is $340 and a $100 deposit is required to hold your spot; the remainder is due by the April 18th guild meeting.
Here's your reminder list of things to bring:

- $25 for membership and a filled out form (or you can fill one out at the meeting)

January Guild Meeting postponed until Tuesday January 24th
Most of you have probably heard from the Goeske Center that the Center will be closed this Monday and Tuesday January 16th and 17th due to rain damage, causing our guild meeting there to be a no go.
As an in person guild meeting this month is vital so that we can perform important guild business (Show and Share, Round Robin, 2023 membership, retreat signups, etc.), we are working on still having an in person guild meeting this month postponed one week and at the Goeske Center if we can. Stay tuned and we will confirm the date, time, and location of the January meeting just as soon as we can lock it it. Thank you for your patience!

You better watch out, Raincross Quilt Guild Christmas Zoom meeting is coming!
Oooooh, you better watch out! You better not cry! You better not pout, because the meeting's has changed!
Raincross Quilt Guild is comin' to Zoooooom!
Yes, you heard right (or you remember from the announcements last month) that this month's quilt guild meeting is back in the Land of Virtual Toys - and that's OKAY! We've got games and toys for all good girls and boys!
We encourage you to wear Holiday attire, so break out those ugly Christmas sweaters, Santa hats, and antlers and wear them during the meeting!
As we have done in previous Zoom guild meetings, we will have a virtual Show and Share, so please get your pictures to Cassandra G. no later than 5pm Monday December 19th. You can share your new work but we also encourage you to share your favorite project you completed or worked on this year, or share a Christmas thing (even if we've seen - we're old and forgetful, so it'll be like it's new). Don't forget to also send pictures of any BOM blocks you've completed that you haven't shown yet. Again, please get your pictures to Cassandra (by email or text, contact information is in the directory or simply post below and we'll figure it out) no later than 5pm Monday December 19th to be included.
The link to the Zoom will be posted in the Raincross Quilt Guild Facebook group as well as emailed to all current members.

Saturday Sew Day this month is THIS weekend, not on the 4th Saturday
The 4th Saturday of the month this month is Christmas Eve, so instead of trying for that, we are rescheduling our Sew Day for this Saturday, December 17th instead! We will meet, like always, at the Lake Mathews Community Room 16453 El Sobrante Rd, Riverside, CA 92503, across from the fire station. We'll start at 9am and typically go to 3pm and have a potluck salad lunch (bring something to go with salad greens or a side or a dessert). If you have any questions, reach out to Barbara M.

Reminder: Guild Meeting next Tuesday (with new information about the meeting!)
Along with the reminder that our regular guild meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday starting at 6pm at the Goeske Center, we have new information to share about this meeting as well as the December meeting.
Starting first with the December meeting: the Goeske Center's hours for December mean that we unfortunately cannot have an in person meeting there next month. But never fear! Santa elves are busy planning a fun filled holiday extravaganza of a meeting via Zoom -- more details to come soon. This will mean, however, that we will miss having a regular holiday potluck at the December meeting, one we're sure everyone has missed since our last one was December 2019.
So, instead of having a holiday potluck in December this year, we're having a Thanksgiving potluck at the November meeting! Have a new recipe you've been anxious to try out for the holidays? Well give it a try and we'll be your guinea pigs! Bring your taters, your stuffing, your gravy, your pie...sheesh, I'm already getting hungry.
Note: bringing a dish to the potluck is not at all required and is open to whomever would like to participate.
And we are still having our Grab Game, so join in the fun!
Here's your reminder list of things to bring:
- Your homemade name badge
- Your Show and Share quilts
- Your Grab Game item
- Your October 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.
- Bottled water or other non-alcoholic drink
- If you feel inspired, a dish for the potluck.

November Grab Game - Make What You Want!
It's that time of year again and we're getting ready for our annual November Grab Game! This year the theme is Make What You Want, dealer's choice! Feeling like making a table runner, or a mug rug, or a pincushion? How about a casserole carrier, Christmas stocking, or small bag? It's your choice, just make sure it's something you've made.
We'll be bringing them to the November guild meeting, Tuesday November 15th - in whatever bag or wrapping you choose! And remember, please make something nice enough that you would want to keep it.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
