Happy Thursday!

We're excited to announce our Fall Retreat! We will be travelling to Fannin County to experience their Barn Quilt Trail. Rather than renting a bus we thought it would be more fun to have a few designated drivers and then throughout the day we'll host a Chinese Quilting Bee where all riders will change vehicles so that we can fellowship with each other!

Check out the details and then please let us know if you will be joining us. Also, we need to know who would be willing to drive. Please RSVP by our meeting on October 9 or sooner!

After lunch we will visit another trail and then make out way to either Denison and/or Pottsboro to visit a quilt shop

QUILTS OF COMPASSION:
There is an organization called Quilts of Compassion they are accepting quilt donations of all sizes for children, teens and adults. Going to the latest hurricane victims in the Carolina's & Florida. I am checking out a drop off location in Lewisville.  Please check out their facebook page for more information but here are a few of their guidelines:
You may use any pattern or color combination
Quilts may be quilted or tied but if they are tied, use pearled cotton only
Also acceptable donations are Afghans that are crocheted or knitted - lap size and larger
Fleece blankets are also accepted

** Please note: All quilts, afghans or fleece blankets MUST BE in NEW condition. We are unable to accept holiday, sports team specific or rag quilts. 

You may include a quilt label on your quilt that represents you, your guild or your quilting group (Guild has labels). Quilt recipients always LOVE to know who made their quilt and what city and state they reside!!! You may also include a card with a personal message to the quilt recipient.

This is an  warning for all the quilters out there. 


Everyone does it but DO NOT PUT YOUR 
pins in your mouth!!
I just returned from spending 24 hours at the hospital cause I put a pin in my mouth and it ended up down my throat after I inhaled quickly. By the time the emergency room doctor saw me it had moved too far down to retrieve by endoscopy. After 22 hours of X-rays, cat scans and several surgical consults, I was discharged to go home and hopefully the pin will move on out naturally. If it becomes embedded along the way then I will need emergency surgery. Please do not make the mistake that I did!

But I did go home and finish my squares! Lol  (from a friend on FB)
