July Meeting Roundup

Tuesday's meeting was a huge success. Margaret inspired everyone with her trunk show of scrappy veterans quilts.

I was completely gobsmacked to bring home 23 finished veterans quilts! Many of these were from Margaret's trunk show.

I also brought home 10 quilt tops ready for quilting. These will add to 3 that I already had a 3 or more that Brenda took home.

We will be very busy quilting the next few weeks.

We also had a successful drive for WHEAT  and received this note from Cathy Williams. 

I collected in the WHEAT Food Drive last night from CSQ a generous portion of canned tuna, canned chicken, canned tomatoes, some wipes, canned corn. Thank them for us. You are always generous. And $645.00 in checks and cash which we will spend buying fill-in items for our food pantry.

Thank CSQ for helping out needy neighbors in Western Hanover County with the basic necessity of food.

Thanks, Cathy Williams, Food Assistance Coordinator, WHEAT and CSQ member

July meeting and sew days!

 Our July Meeting is this coming Tuesday, July 14 at 7 pm at the Montpelier Center. Our program is being presented by Margaret Griffiths. She will share a trunk show of a lot of veterans quilts that were made using crumb blocks and scrap fabrics. You will be awed and inspired by all the new veterans quilts that she has made.

We will also have our annual July collection for WHEAT. Cathy Williams will be in the parking lot before the meeting to accept the donations. Donations can be product or monetary/checks. For a list of current needs, check out their pantry page here.

Our sewing days are July 15 and 16, this Wednesday and Thursday. The Montpelier Center is having summer camp this week so we will use the old library space for our sewing space, this same as last month.
