Sewing Sisters,
I just wanted to take a few minutes to remind you of a few upcoming events.
The 6th Annual QOVF National Sew Day is coming up on Saturday, February 2nd, 9 AM to 5 PM, at the Civic Center. Bring your sewing machine, accessories, lunch (potluck), snacks, drinks and join in the day of sewing for our Veterans. If you do not a specific project, don’t worry, there will be kits available. You can also help with cutting and pressing, . If you have not contacted Barb Welch to register, please do so ASAP. Note, there is no cost to register.
At the February Farmersville Quilt Guild meeting our program will be “Loving on our Veterans through QOV”. We will learn what is a QOV, how do I make one, how to nominate someone, etc. This will be great information for our new members and a refresher for our seasoned members!
In February, we will be appointing a Nominating Committee to work the next few months to bring a list of new Executive Board members for 2019-2020. The names will be presented to the guild members for consideration in April with a vote in May. New Executive Board members will be installed at the June meeting. If you would like to be considered for the committee please let me know.
Remember that the guild’s annual budget depends on how well we do with the raffle quilt sales. Keep selling those tickets! If you need more tickets or want to sign up for a sale location, contact Lynn Hendrex.
Please let me know if you have any questions. In meantime, may all your stiches be perfect and your seams be straight!
