February 2016 "Are You My Valentine?

February brings the question: "Are You My Valentine?"

Guild members filled out questions about themselves then were traded secretly. Members then had to figure "Are You My Valentine" and give a gift to your Valentine. So, "Who's Your Valentine?"

Perfect gift for our Elizabeth, She loves kissing.

Traci, Charlotte, Bonnie, & Becky listening to see who's who's Valentine

Bonnie found her Valentine

Pat say's it's not me??

It's me???

Hello Ladies!

 The Farmersville Quilt Guild is registered with the Quilt of Valor Foundation to be a part of one of the biggest national sew days in history and we are so proud to be a part of it.   

  We are so excited that we get to be a part of something so awesome!!  Elizabeth has gone above and beyond the call of duty and has arranged for the Boy Scouts to come in and do a flag ceremony  and the City of Farmersville is preparing a Proclamation.  What a wonderful way to commemorate this event.  Thank you Elizabeth.

Please bring your sewing machines and be ready to make a quilt for a very deserving QOV recipient.  You need to have a pattern picked out so you will be ready to cut and sew quickly.  Fabric will be provided.  If you would like to cut fabric before the 6th just give Lynn a call and I would be happy for you to come over and pick out your fabrics and cut. 

We will be meeting at 9:00 AM at the OE Carlisle Civic Center on Saturday, February 6, 2016.   Lunch will be potluck.

If you have questions please leave a message on blog and we will respond.  Would like to get a head count of who is participating, please email Lynn.  

Those of you who signed up and paid to become a member of QOV, I got that list and you should have received an email confirming your membership.  If you did not, please let me know. 

Debi/JR Fun QOV

Thank you all so much for being a part of such a loving and giving group who is always doing for others.

Lynn made this as a QOV but was voted to be
used for our 2016 Raffle Quilt.
