So
Tuesday night I got the awesome assignment of going to the Farmersville Quilt
Guild meeting for their Quilt of Valor ceremony. I was really in awe by all the
beautiful quilts and the stories of the veterans but one quilt stuck out the
most (probably cause it made me cry first.)
The
quilt was presented to James Cox. Jr., an Air Force veteran from Corinth. He
handled dogs that sniffed out bombs and in his bio, he insisted the dogs were
the heroes not him. He had five dogs during his time in the military but one of
his favorite's was named Pete. Donna Burns, who made his quilt pieced the
blanket so the dog ended up at his knees when the quilt is used. Cox can also
tuck his hands inside the dog piece to keep them warm. The words of the song
'Dogs of War' is quilted into the blanket.
Without
a doubt, the Quilts of Valor presentation and the ladies of the Farmersville
Quilt Guild made an impression on the veterans. They found a way into my heart
also. Thank you ladies for the compassion you show to our veterans.

2nd Annunal Farmersville Quilt Guild Quilting Retreat November 3-5/2017
The time is growing closer and we are so excited that you are joining us for the Farmersville Quilt Guild Fall Retreat, November 3rd – 5th,
at Quiltagious Quarters in Celeste. We all had a great time last April!
Roommate assignments are as follows (upon arrival, check the card on the window on each door for your specific room):
Barb & Peggy
Pi & Lynn
Kathy & Elizabeth
Janice & Lesa
Sherri & Niki
Karen & JR
Pat & Susan
Each bed comes with linens, 3 piece towel set, pillow, quilt, reading light, and luggage stand. There are 7 toilets, 5 showers, and 4 lavatories. There is a small sitting area outside the sewing room that will be great for some relaxation should you need a break from sewing.
Sewing station assignments will be posted at each station. There are great design walls from ceiling to floor, cutting stations, ironing stations. Irons and cutting mats are provided. I have attached a retreat packing list to help you with your packing.
Meals provided: dinner Friday, breakfast & dinner Saturday, and breakfast Sunday.
Other things to bring: (note, there is access to a refrigerator)
ü Lunch for Friday (if arriving before 3 pm) & Saturday (in April we brought veggies, lunch meat, pimento cheese, crackers and other assorted snacks) Note, there aren’t many restaurants in Celeste but you could drive into Greenville if you so choose. There is a fully equipped kitchen.
ü Drinks
ü Snacks to share
We will have door prize drawings throughout the event, if you wish to donate something as a door prize, bring it and give to Karen.
Each participant will have a small tote placed at their sewing station. We ask that you bring something for each participant(there will be 14 of us) to place in their tote. It doesn’t have to be sewing/quilt related. Use your imagination and lets have fun!
We will have one group project (provided), but don’t forget to bring your UFOs, new projects, a book to read, whatever strikes your fancy. It will be a great time of sewing, eating, socializing, etc. Oh, and don’t forget the store is open to browse and shop until 5pm, Friday and 3 pm on Saturday.
On Saturday afternoon, there is an opportunity to have a 15 minute chair massage ($15); 30 minute quilter’s massage ($30), one hour massage, also available. There is an option of “hot rocks” to be used for an additional flat fee of $10. Upon arrival Friday make sure you place your name on the massage list, payment for massage is paid at the time of massage.
I hope I have not forgotten anything. If you have questions please ask. It is going to be so much FUN!
Take care,
Kathy

*******************************************************************
FYI: What is a scant 1/4” seam? There are occasions when you
sew two pieces together, carefully sewing ¼ from the edge of your fabric and
find that the finished size after pressing the seams toward the darker fabric
is slightly smaller than it should be.
When piecing a quilt, the perfect seam allowance needs to be a SCANT
quarter inch, rather than a true ¼”. This is because the fold of the fabric
over the seam allowance can shrink the finished measurement of the piece just a
bit. To get a “scant ¼” seam, sew a couple threads narrower (closer to the cut
edge) than a true quarter inch if needed. You can always test your seams using
a couple of scraps before you begin.
