Ladies,
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who came today! We had a houseful. There was plenty of good food. Lots of laughs. And I think everyone had a great time.
We sorted fabric, cut fabric, made blocks and pillowcases. Pat turned in two completed quilts that she and Susan had pieced!
Thanks to Barb for a well planned day. Thanks again to everyone who brought food. Let’s keep up the momentum and get those quilts ready for our presentation in November.
Watch next week for an email that has the agenda for the February meeting. We look forward to the program that Barb is working on, Loving our Veterans through Quilts of Valor. Until then have a blessed week.
Have a blessed day,
Have a blessed day,
Kathy, Pres

1/14/2019 Email from Guild President:
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!

QOVF volunteers wrapped 30,745 veterans and service members touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor in 2018 and over 209,110 since 2003.
As one recipient said, “Receiving it, I was not prepared for the emotions that coursed through me from wonder to tears. I am not sure what it means to have total strangers care for you in this way!”
Thank you for your dedication, your time, and your talent—QOVF appreciates all you do.
