From the President:

We will have our Christmas Party at our next meeting on Dec. 17th. We will be starting early that evening, at 6:30. We will have a potluck, so be thinking of that favorite food to bring and share. We will also have a gift exchange for those that are interested. There is a $10-15 limit on the gifts.

REMINDER: Anyone who has their quilt top finished using our 2007 Block of the Month blocks, must bring it to the January 2008 meeting. Note: This is the quilt TOP, not the finished quilt. If you have the quilt totally finished, that is fine, but only the top is required to be eligible for the prize. Those who bring their completed quilt top, will have their name put in a drawing for $100!!!

Congratulations to the new officers! We look forward to some new ideas and leadership in the new year.

December sew days will be Saturday, Dec. 8th in Stockton; and Wednesday, Dec. 12th in Plainville.

The current officers will be in charge of refreshments for our Dec 17th Christmas Party.

Happy Quilting!
Karen
