See below for more updated pictures of the day...

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.

January 2016 HAPPY NEW YEAR

A new year brings new things to our Guild

Program for the night was a presentation about 'Quilts of Valor" given by Lynn

A Quilt of Valor is an award to those who have been touched by war. It says "thank you for your service, sacrifice and valor" in serving our nation.
