It's a new year and things are looking as promising as ever. I'm confident God has good things in store for us this year.
So many reasons........:
- The room was crowded!
20+ quilters each day.
- 3 Past members spent some time with us!
- 30 finished quilts and 12 dog
beds
- A connection was made with the My Brother's Keeper organization, who will make blankets for JOPPA out of our
upholstery and other fabrics not suited for quilting.
- Retreat is coming up. A dinner is being planned for Friday night. Many people are bringing quilting friends. Looks to be a wonderfully full house. You will be receiving a reminder email.
- Some of you asked about receiving blankets. While HQ isn't going to do this specifically, Here is a link to the DM Guild's effort if you'd like to participate.
- A question, mostly by newcomers, is: What size quilts do we need for these organizations? Well, a guide has been put together to help with this. There really are no
strict rules as there are so many outlets. But this should give
you some idea of the types of partner needs that are
more common. See Jody if you need a copy of this guide.
- And finally, thanks to so many who have taken the lead on different tasks. Help with set up and take down has become a huge group effort. We are better together, folks! Many hands make light work, and it's been appreciated!
